Actually, the most common problem with the A/C unit is a cold solder joint on one or more pins of the relay located in the Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM). The CCRM is located under the hood near the front of the driver's side wheel well. This part is known to have faulty solder joints to some of the relays (cold solder joints) which prevents the relays from functioning properly.

There are writeups on how to repair it on Ford Escort Owner's web site. It requires removal of the relay unit, drilling out 4 rivets to gain access to the electronics, then a few more minutes with a soldering iron. Seal it back up using rivets or a hot glue gun and off you go.

The most common problem in those situations is either low Freon (ac gas 134 in a 95 Ford) or there is high & low pressure along the AC lines which signal the compressor when to activate on/off. Of course there is the basic electrical system from fuses & relays & this case you have n AC switch which needs to be checked to see if the comp is receiving electrical signal when on. Start with jumping the low PSI switch on low PSI line. If it activates the comp, that usually calls for Freon. Gauges req. Turn the ac on & off, listen for a click at the fuse/relay box. No click/ bad relay. GOOD LUCK, FRANK M (its complex, be careful)

First you should know that there is an electromagnetic clutch on the compressor and it is going to appear to be free turning unless there is power to it. Second is a switch that is in line with the power to the clutch and that switch opens and wont let power to the clutch if the Freon is low. Third is the fuse that you may be able to find a diagram for at autozone dot come. Make a free account and then login and put in the year make and model and go browse the free repair guides.

Sounds like a couple of problems. First check the fan motor . Does it turn freely while off? Check for power to motor. Check to make sure the heater valve is closing when ac is on. Block one of the heater hoses to check.
Make sure the compressor is turning at higher rpms.

Underhood fuse block swap out relay #7 thats the ECM relay.
Ground Circuits Using a DVOM, touch negative voltmeter lead to a good ground. Touch positive voltmeter lead to each ground terminal. With vehicle running, voltmeter should indicate less than one volt. If reading is greater than one volt, check for open, corrosion and loose connection on ground lead. See ECM GROUND LOCATION table for ECM ground location.

No turn signals or hazard lights

Check the FLASHER, also can review the Fuses, located inside the passenger compartment, under the drivers-side of the instrument panel.

Both the turn signal flasher and the hazard warning flasher are mounted on the fuse panel on the truck. To gain access to the fuse panel, remove the cover from the lower edge of the instrument panel below the steering column. First remove the two fasteners from the lower edge of the cover. Then pull the cover downward until the spring clips disengage from the instrument panel.

The turn signal flasher unit is mounted on the front of the fuse panel, and the hazard warning flasher is mounted on the rear of the fuse panel.

To access the fuses, remove the fuse panel cover. Note the spare fuses (A) and provided fuse puller tool

Power Distribution Box
Located under the hood, in the engine compartment. It houses the fuses and relays for most of the under hood components which are not controlled by a dash mounted switch (such as the alternator, fuel pump, ECM, etc.). The fuses and relays are replaced in the same manner as the fuse panel inside the vehicle. The power distribution box cover is hinged on one end and utilizes a retaining latch on the other. Simply release the latch and lift the cover up to gain access to the fuses and relays.

Hope helped with this; remember rated this help. Good luck.

If you can unplug the compressor and put the switch in run forever and it doesnt blow then your compressor has a short in it and the car wash had nothing to do with this unless you can find water in the fuse block or relay block

Wipers wont work

1.  Turn on your wipers and pop your hood.   2.  If you hear you wiper motor, then you do not need to check your fuses. 3.  If your wiper arms are moving freely, then your linkage from the wiper arms to the motor is disconnected and possibly broken.   4.  If the problem is electrical, do the following:      1.  Check the fuse, and check for power at the fuse.      2.  Check the wiper motor for ground. For a complete circuit, you need power going in and ground               coming out.  Check electrical connections for corrosion or poor connections.       3.  Get a wiring schematic and trace power to the wiper motor starting at the fuse box in the                       following order:           Fuse box           wiper switch           wiper motor      4.  In the rarest of cases a wiper motor or wiper switch is at fault.  I do not recommend replacing                 anything unless you have proof that the part is faulty. (ie. power going into the switch but nothing           coming out.)
