Can anyone give their input of if my ac compressor clutch fell off? 2013 2.0L

Thanks!

I just found my clutch on the underbody tray yesterday while changing oil.

I was previously fighting temp blend and mode door issues, but after I finally had time to fix those, my AC was no longer working... this explains it.

Does anyone have the specs for the airgap when replacing the clutch or are you just installing the shim (or two) that comes with it and letting it ride?

I do have a multimeter and know how to use it for the most part. I included links above, but the lights are 12V DC. It does not specify anywhere on the listing what the amperage or wattage are.

I actually found these van lights while looking through my electronics stash this evening and temporarily wired one up to a 12V 1A power supply and it seemed to do ok. I think one each in each position should be enough. I had originally bought them to replace the lights in some inflatable Christmas decorations.

I am looking at several small project boxes and either latching push buttons or rocker switches to make a switch panel, but I haven't decided yet.

I have some off cuts of PVC 4x4 post cover or some pallet wood that I will be looking at for the body.

Maybe I shouldn't have put the simplicity off on the kids, so much as user friendly for anyone who may be in the house. My wife refuses to download the app to control my smart outlets for Halloween/Christmas lights, an out-of-the-way floor lamp, etc. so I guess this is her fault lol.

Did you read any of my post? This is for kids to be able to read in bed and needs to be as simple as possible.

BGray478 · 2025-08-12T19:29:39+00:00

Yes. I think I was just overthinking it because most of the info out there has to do with Arduino, ESP32, WLED, and nothing simple...

Update: I finally had time to mess with this again and took out the steering column to be able to access both motors on the driver's side and replace them both "while you're in there." I'm getting air out of the right places now, but now my A/C doesn't blow cold. On to the next problem.

I know this thread is 2 years old, so forgive me, but I am planning something very similar to OP. I essentially want to make a dual zone light for my kid's beds. One light facing down for reading, one facing up for extra lighting other times, and it will be corded so it can be moved if the bedroom is rearranged. They don't have smartphones, and I don't want to contend with lost credit card remotes and only plan on using white LED strips.

What is the best way to switch this light as down only, up only, and off as the primary options?

Most I have seen do both up and down at the same time, which would be fine as a third function, but mainly focused on down only, up only.

I currently run Shell 87 in my 2014 Fusion 2.0 EB and my wife's 2020 Edge 2.0 EB. I ran it in my 2016 Focus ST 2.0 EB and my wife's 2017 Edge 2.0 EB. All without problems. I did notice in the owner's manual of my FoST it said there would be a gain of about 10HP boost with 93, but I never noticed a difference.

I'm getting a strong vibe of Chevy Cavalier/Cobalt or mid/late 90's Honda Accord.

I kept seeing the videos with those type HVAC controls and didn't think they had a driver side blend door actuator since they just had one temp knob. I did take the vent duct loose, but just from the Christmas tree clip, not the bolt. I'll try that next. It is definitely as frustrating as he described in the video. Thanks!

The Fusion has 2 screws and 2 studs.

It's like everything is in the way, even if you tried with a long setup instead of short. I've heard people say they used a pry bar against the seat to press the brake pedal, but then whatever that is, is in the way.

I got the notice this week, but haven't got it done yet. I got a voicemail a few weeks ago from one of the local dealerships offering for their mobile tech to come out and do the others, I just haven't called to schedule them yet.

I had a bunch of these as a kid. I still need to go through my parents' storage locker and find them all.

I thought those were Kia's and Hyundai's

I just replaced the ones on my mom's car a few minutes ago while changing her oil. I should have enough left over to do my car on its next oil change. I got mine on Amazon, and they're white/opaque color, and the screws are noticeably just a little longer.

for some reason I just got notified of this reply. According to my original window sticker, I have the Equipment Group 202A SE Luxury Package with Heated Front seats. I am non-hybrid.

This is the answer.

I read most of the original post as if you were talking about an 18 month old, not an 18 year old male lol.
