I have a 2012 Charger V6. The AC will sometimes work, other times not. When it does work, it is 100% OK. I popped the connector off the AC clutch, and it has 12.5 volts.
So ordered a new clutch figuring the electromagnet is dead. Before I installed it, I connected it to the wring to see what it would do - nothing. If I connect it directly to the battery, it magnetizes. If jumper the old clutch to the battery, it engages too.
So I thought maybe the connector is worn out, but if I probe into it with good electrical connectors, it still won't engage either clutch.
12 volts from the battery works, but 12 volts from the connector doesn't. What gives?
