My A/C compressor will sometimes not kick on when I turn on my a/c. If I open the hood and wiggle this little connector w/diode it will kick on and work. I ordered a new connector and it is still doing the same thing!! Does anyone know what the "HELL" is the problem and how to fix?? It's getting old to have to wiggle this thing every time I want to use my a/c!!!!!! Any help appreciated!!

 

You are on the right track - no doubt a corroded connector. When you replace it, also make sure the pins on the coil are clean.

 

I did put the new one on and it is doing the same thing. I sprayed some electrical cleaner on the male connector on the compressor and then flipped the 2 pin female connector around. So far so good....hopefully that will fix it?? I'm sure it's just not getting a tight solid connection.

 

The best electrical cleaner is fine sandpaper. If you are confident that all the connectors are good and it still makes/breaks contact with a wiggle your clutch coil is bad. Search "Four Seasons 47298" for a replacement. With all the partial engagement your clutch might be damaged anyway so this would be a good fix. Clutch can be replaced without opening the system.
