Has it been slipping or sticking? It's a brand new clutch and compressor Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Expedition yourself? What have you tried so far?

Do you have a gauge set to check pressures on both sides of the ac system?

No but I took it yesterday to a shop and had it vacummed and fully charged he said he thought it was a fuse or relay checked fuses they are good can't find relay location
