How did it crack? What caused it and how much did a new one cost? Also did you use the R34a refigerant to recharge your system?

Sounds like you have some investigating to do

then its probly that. put somone in your car and tell them to turn on the ac while you are under the hood listening. you WILL hear somthing if it is working right. you should hear the clutch engage and like you said your motor will feel some resistance. check your ac lines to be sure and see if you see alot of condensation coming out of one place. there will be condensation on the lines already but see if it is pooring out somwhere bad. im still voting for the compressor cuz im sure every mustang owner knows that if you dont turn on the ac and you put you settings on the coldest, it still comes out like the heater is on if you dont have the ac on.

My switch on my was busted, so I just stuck a paper clip in there and wraped it with electrical tape and it works fine, check the switch thing

Did you check the pressure? If the line burned up, then the pressure will be nil and the compressor won't turn on. Check the pressure before you go swapping compressors.

IM all good! its 98 Degrees here and I have AC again! I think I just slipped my clutch in the AC compressor badly yesterday. Because this morning it worked fine. I think I needed to let it cool down. I noticed I passed 5500rpm today with the AC on and it died again on me and started blowing hot air, but then about 5 minutes later it started to work again. So for future referance I dont think you can exceed 5500rpm with the AC on without it breaking.

ive done it, i love the feeling of hitting 3000 rpms and the a/c disengaging for WOT, and you feel all the power come back, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i think your compressor is on its last days especially if you keep racing with it on. no doubt the higher your rpms are, the higher it spins the a/c, therefore im sure theres a reason they have it shut off at WOT, other than driver desired power, its prolly bad for the compressor/ a/c system.

I just finished replacing the clutch on my compressor just a few weeks ago. If you continue to encounter slipping I would suggest doing the same, its relatively cheap ($135) and will help prevent any damage to the compressor. My old clutch was so warn down that the pulley would still engage for a split second and at high RPM's that’s not good!

PS. You probably don't need to replace the magnet, so don't get duped if you have a shop do it for you.

Good luck,
