Crossfire SRT-6 V6-3.2L SC VIN N (2005)
between the engine and the compressor. If the solenoid (5) is de-energized, then the pressure plate (6) is pressed back by the rubber insert (7) into its rest
position and the connection is interrupted.
The clutch also preforms a safety shutoff of the compressor. To prevent a mechanical defect in the compressor from causing the accessory drive belt to
jump loose, the electromagnetic clutch releases itself automatically. With a mechanical defect, the compressor rotates more sluggishly or even locks
completely. The heat generated at the friction surface causes the melting fuse (2) in the solenoid (5) to melt. The current supply to the solenoid (5) is
interrupted and the frictional connection is released.
The A/C compressor clutch is not serviced separately. The A/C compressor clutch must be replaced as a unit with the A/C compressor.
