Re: A/c Compressor Seals

Well Tapani, if you apply 12 VDC across the two pins in that connector, you should be able to hear the solenoid click inside. If you want to actually have a look at the solenoid valve, then you will have to take off the rear cap section of the compressor. I did that, and found that the valve was frozen solid.

The question then is where can you find a replacement solenoid? Or replacement gaskets?

I was not able to find a source, and so have scrapped the compressor. Without spare parts available, they must be looked upon as one-shot expendables.
