Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Disabling the AC, clutch relay or 10 amp fuse?

[AKDrifter]

Now that I have driven 34k with my AC on the whole time, ( what a dumb arse! ) which fuse should I pull to stop the AC from working; the AC clutch relay or the 10 amp AC clutch fuse or both?



I thought the AC only works when on the * looking symbol on the far left. Boo Hoo, I feel like I've been driving around with the E-brake on or something, I hate AC anyways, feels like I got knats behind my ears or something. Paul

Pull the relay under the hood. Not certain on '01s but on earlier models the breaker is right next to the ABS breaker. Diagram on the lid is easy to get turned around. Take care not to pull the one for the ABS as your warning lights may come on and stay on even after replacing the breaker. Been there.

On vehicles with manual A/C it is usually recommended to run the A/C at least once a month to keep the seals from drying out.

Think about adding a switch like I mentioned in your belt thread.
