2008 Patriot AC

Asked by mrpenguin02 Jun 09, 2018 at 04:41 PM about the 2008 Jeep Patriot Limited

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 2008 Patriot AC is no working.  When i turn the AC ON the clutch does not
engage.  Is there a fuse or relay I should check?  I looked at all the fuses under
the hood in the fusebox by the battery - all good.  I also looked at the relay box
next to the battery and behind the driver headlight, also all good.

Check the connection to the hi / low switch to find switch just look along the A.C system there is to wires running to it unplug and plug back in maybe making a bad connection if that does not work tap on switch with end of a screwdriver if it starts to work replace switch.

You mean use the screwdriver as a bridge to ensure connection, right?
