My 2001 Ford Escort which is full of freon won't cool because power is not getting to the compressor. Does the control relay have an affect on the compressor engaging?
My 2001 Ford Escort would periodically not cool. When it would cool, it would do so nicely. A few weeks back it stopped cooling all together. Took it to the neighborhood mechanic and was told that the control relay or module was interfering with power getting to the compressor. He found this by doing a by-pass directly to the compressor which resulted in the AC responding normally (very cool). Does this sound logical and is the part called a control relay module? Thanks for any knowledgable assistance.
