I was on the way home in my '97 Lincoln Town Car and of course with a load or refrigerated groceries and a hot day, my A/C (which worked halfway home) crapped out.
The Cold air that came out phased out and cool/warm air phased in. I tried to do the EATC test and no codes came up, but I still reset it. And when turned the AC on, the clutch did not kick in. And I switched relays for the A/C cutoff and still no dice.
Two things I would like to bring up here (whether it may contribute to the problem:
1) For the longest time every time I turned on the HVAC (whether it be auto, A/C, heat) I would hear a sound that sounded like a clicking grinding sound that would go away in a second or two. I would assume that is the compressor (which I kind of new perhaps the compressor was on its way out)
2) The day or two before the A/C crapped out every time the A/C was on (or auto setting) I smelled a weird chemical smell. As best I can put it, it smells like new car smell and burning electronic. I thought it was the smells outside.
Anybody has any ideas, sure would appreciate it.
