Re: 98 escort A/C

The relay for the electromagnetic clutch on the compressor is called the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM). It is under the air intake up against the strut tower. You can't get to it unless you take part of the intake out. It has the relays for the fan on the radiator and relays for the clutch on the A/C. If you do any research you will find that a lot of people have been having one of soldered connections to the A/C clutch break. Rather than lay out $275 for a new CCRM they have been drilling out the rivets on the cover, soldering the connection and resealing the cover and putting it back together with screws. If you don't want to do this get one at the boneyard. I don't think it would cost much if you pulled it yourself and asked how much they would want. I got one for $15 at the local boneyard.
