I have a 2010 outlander 2.4. My ac is not working. After a lot of research and diagnostics I found its my ac clutch that is the issue. If you turn the ac and tap the clutch with a wrench or something it turns on. And the ac blows cold but once you turn the car off and back on the clutch doesn't spin again unless you tap on it. I had a Ford with this issue and because the clutch got old it started to pull away from the compressor. I was able to buy shims and that fixed the issue. However it doesn't seem like you can replace the clutch or add shims on the outlander. So does any one know a way to fix this without replacing the compressor?

Already tested power relays and fuses they all work fine.

When driving the clutch stop spinning when you hit a bump

 

This video may help.BTW, Ac will disengage if there are other issues besides clutch, e.g. a leak.

 

If the clutch isn't very worn, you'll probably need to replace the bearing. However, don't try to replace the coupling as this will break the compressor. After replacing the bearing and clutch, the fan will turn on and off a few times a second, running normally. I have a better idea that airconservicingsingapore.com might help, though. You should have replaced all elements of the air conditioner except the clutch. The problem is that Ford has many issues with the clutch and the compressor, especially when running at low speeds.
