A/C Clutch Off Time

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: When ambient temperature is above 80°F (26°C), A/C clutch may not cycle.

To determine A/C clutch off time, record ambient temperature. Record A/C clutch off time in seconds. System performance is acceptable when recorded time falls between upper and lower limits shown. See Fig 1.
