There is also an A/C clutch diode, and if I'm not mistaken, this is there to prevent high spikes in voltage that would otherwise blow the A/C clutch fuse. Well, since my A/C clutch fuse is blown, could it be because the diode is not functioning properly????????????????????
Update: Since a diode is simply a complete circuit, I removed the diode and tested it. I set my multimeter to diode testing and tried the leads on both of the diode's prongs. I got a reading of 001 ohms both ways, so I believe that tells me that there is a short in the diode. I would like to try and replace it, but have no clue where to buy an a/c clutch replacement diode? Does anyone know?
