    Hey all,
    I have a problem with my air conditioning. When I turn the AC off the clutch on the compressor stays engaged. Only way I can get it to disengage is to take the diode out of the fuse box. My old diode was cracked and I bought a replacement but it still does it. Another thing I noticed yesterday was after running my car for about 1 minute, I went to take the diode out and it was hot as hell! I couldnt even hold it in my hand it was so hot. So im guessing whatever activates that diode is messing up. Any ideas?

    WHY IS EVERYONE SO OPPOSED TO DOING A COMPRESSION TEST TO TROUBLESHOOT PROBLEMS?

    Kind of sounds like the switch in the dash is bad.....or maybe the relay is sticking.
