Any ideas?
I cant turn my aricon off. Pulled fuses, disconnected the compressor, still wont disengage.
Might be Auto Electrical issue but maybe mechanical.
Its a Toyota compressor on a Toyota V8.

Sounds unusual, but the mag clutch is probably seized - been through any mud lately?
I would definately be taking the belt off before you do any damage to the compressor / ac system.

Thanks for that.
I will take it off tonight and have a gander.
It has been up to Cape York recently....

Fixed....smacked it with a hammer a few times (lightly
) hit it with the air compressor and liberal amounts of water dispersant.
Works a treat now.
I suspect a but of surface corrosion siezing the clutch on - will keep it lubed up regularly.
Thanks for your help guys - saved me some cash.
