Air Conditioning Clutch problem
#1

I have posted on this before but my problem is worse. I have a 2002 xtype 2.5L. The airconditioning works fine when the car is first started. It lasts approx 10 to 15 minutes and stops working. Once faulted the compressor clutch is not engaged. If I try to jump the relay I see a slight spark but the clutch does not engage. There is power at the relay. I have not checked all the way to the compressor when it is faulted yet though.
I note there are wires going to the back of the compressor to a small cover plate, what is under here is there another cut out switch there?
Remember I have the clutch jumped so there should be no reason for the clutch to not engage.
So far replaced dryer, Hi low pressure switch, and the complete CCM module.
pressures are 30- 35PSI and 175 PSI(I think) but certainly not high.
Can I confirm this is likely a bad clutch?
