I have a 2002 VW Jetta. The cooling fans won’t come on at all nor will the ac clutch engage. It has a new compressor, temperature switch, and a new fan relay. When I jump the temp switch I can only get low fan speed. I tried connecting the fans to direct 12 v and the fans worked fine on high speed. What else could it be?? ECM??? I have power going threw the fuses and into the fan relay.

May want to check cooling fan control module...as far as the a/c compressor you could bypass the pressure switch just to see if the compressor comes on.

Did you test the wiring for any breaks or shorts with a continuity tester? I know this is a frustrating issue, if you can't get it to cooperate just wire it yourself but be careful to use relays for each switch to either can and the clutch. Hopefully it won't come to that, but if so you won't be the first one to do this. I had a Chevrolet truck that refused to work despite having no apparent wiring or relay issues and just had to wire it up to a few toggle switches using relays & heavier gauge wiring/high amp switches as well because if not they'll cause more problems, like overheating and melting or even worse, a fire!

First things first: Are you certain that the compressor has the amount of refrigerant needed to make it cycle on when the switch signals it to come on? Being Low on Refrigerant will keep it from coming on and working properly?

SOURCE: Cooling fan wont work

The water temp sensor is located near the thermostat housing. This sensor is what tells the ECM to turn the fan on/off. The water temp sending unit is located near the same area. You know you have the correct sensor is because the water temp sensor has a 2 prong plug. The water temp sending unit only has 1 prong.

You were close! Most Fords have a CCRM (Continuous Control Relay Module) thats on the passenger side fenderwell. It has 4 relays: one for the AC compressor cluth, one for the fuel pump, and two for the electric fan (high- and low-speed.) The AC is the one that fails the most. You can replace the CCRM by removing the intake air filter box and working through the fenderwell openings. If it gets to difficult you must remove the wheel and splash cover to replace it from the wheel opening.

Ac not working, air compressor clutch not engaging

Hi Adeyeri

Keep in mind that the Clutch won't engage for a few safety reasons.

Temperature inside vehicle
Temperature of compressor or pipes
Pressure inside pipes
Compressor jambed
Eg It's out of refrigerant Gas

You can momentarily engage the clutch by simply giving it +12v to the wire attached to clutch. Usually has a connector close by.
Or
If it has a Relay (click) in fuse box
You can by pass it with a jumper

A quick engage & disengage should allow you to detect possible problem.
But don't over ride the built in safety for more than about a minute.

Cheers
Hope this Helps

My 2003 vw jetta ac clutch wont engage. you can hear the car idle up as if the ac has engaged but then within in 2 seconds its stops at this time when it idles up i get a 12v signal at the compressor

IS THE SYSTEM FULL OF FREON? IF ITS LOW THE A/C CLUTCH WILL NOT ENGAGE. ITS KIND OF LIKE A FAIL-SAFE FOR THE SYSTEM. IF THE FREON IS FULL AND YOU HAVE 12V TO THE COMPRESSOR I WOULD CHECK OUT THE CYCLING SWITCH ALSO.

2002 vw jetta vr6 no start no crank, but able to pop start

Start by checking the switch above the clutch pedal ... I have seen where they come loose, brake or move and when you push in the clutch it doesn't engage the safety switch all the way.

I have a 2001 jetta ac clutch not engaging freon pressure levels read good by pass compressor its cools good.

Check to see if the wires on the fan module are corroded. The fan module is under the battery. Easier to see from under vehicle. Also check the fuses first.

1995 vw jetta gl air conditioner fuse 2.0 l

You may not be full of refrigerant... There is a low pressure switch that prevents the AC from actuating the clutch, and the reason is: IF there is not enough refrigerant, you will not be able to move oil through the system and you will have major damage...so no engauge...

Get the system checked, most likely there is a leak somewhere..

My A/C will not blow cold on 2002 jetta 1.8t

The problem is the temperature blend door. Very costly to fix. I have a 2003 with the same problem. A diverter flap door that allows it to switch over from heat to air, is broken. The part is 400.00 and the labor itself is 800.00. The whole dash needs to come off. Everything is behind the dash. Sorry!

00 jetta ac not cooling, fans and a/c comp./clutch is working but no cool air.. unhooked the low side switch i think it is up top near the fire wall clutch kicks off on the a/c compressor so im guessing...

I would guess your freon has slowly leaked out, and now simply needs to be recharged. You can buy an AC recharge kit with R134 at Walmart or someplace, and do it yourself quite reasonably. If it doesn't cool after that the way everything else seems to be normal, it would probably have to be the temperature control switch.
