It works!

Product was an exact fit and got my son's AC back to blowing cold in this hot summer.

Works great in my 2003 mustang 3.8

Replaced the module and lost my ac in my car I do not recommend this product.

The AC clutch on my 2000 3.8L Mustang was failing to engage. I tracked the problem down to the clutch relay which is contained in this module. The Cardone 73-70012 module was a direct fit and replacement for the OEM part. After replacing the part, my AC started working again.

Fit my 2000 Mustang 3.8L perfectly and worked perfectly. My AC is blowing cold once again just in time for summer.Obviously this is not the only part that can affect your AC, but it is one of the most likely parts to go bad. Especially if your car is older as the relay which controls power to the compressor turns on and off repeatedly for years and is prone to failure. As are any of the relays in this module. I thought about buying a used CCRM but I figured this was a much better choice as it is remanufactured with new components. A used CCRM may have worked but depending on the age of the CCRM it is prone to the same failure as the original.Here are some simple checks to verify whether this is your issue. These are for a 2000 Mustang with 3.8L but the basic troubleshooting is same for most vehicles.1. If the check engine light is on, check the DTC coeds to ensure none of the codes affect AC.2. Check continuity of the A/C Pressure Fuse (20A) in the Under the Hood Fuse Box using a multimeter (Fuse S)http://diagrams.hissind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2000-v6-fuse-hood.gif3. Check the continuity of fuses F2.2, F2.23, and F2.24 in the Under the Dash Fuse Box using a multimeterhttp://diagrams.hissind.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2000-v6-fuse-dash.gif4. If all the fuses are good use a wire or paper clip and insert it into both sides of the AC cycling low pressure switch (one at a time). I used solid bell wire stripped at both ends which was easily pushed into the back of the connector. Make sure there is a generous amount of wire and that it bottoms out into the connector. Start the car, turn on the AC, and check for 12V on both sides of the switch. If only one side has voltage the switch is bad or the system is low on Freon. In that case, remove the connector plug and jumper it with a wire and see if the compressor turns on. If it does, turn of the car and connect a pressure gauge to the low pressure AC port. I have actual gauges but you can buy an inexpensive gauge and can of AC as one unit for under $20 which can be used to check the pressure and add Freon as necessary. With the low pressure jumper still in place, start the car. The compressor has to be running to check the pressure.5. Check the high pressure switch the same way the low pressure switch was tested.6. If both the low and high pressure switches test OK, jumper 12V directly from the battery to the AC compressor. The connector only has two wires, one is solid black which is ground. Jumper 12V to the other wire. Again, I used a long bell wire stripped at both ends which was easily pushed into the back of the connector. Start the car and touch the other end of the wire to the positive battery post and see if the AC compressor comes on. If so, this is an important check because it verifies the compressor is good. I didn’t ground the black wire to the battery but I would of if the compressor wouldn’t have come on.7. The CCRM is under the passenger side front fender. Remove the front screws holding the splash guard in place and peel back the splash guard. You don’t need to completely remove it as it is flexible and can be peeled back and pushed out of the way. Disconnect the wiring harness to the CCRM, and then unbolt the CCRM bracket. Connect the wiring harness to the CCRM. Use a stiff wire or paper clip (I had to use a paper clip) to check pins 12 and 24 on the CCRM for 12V. If voltage is present at both pins with the car started and AC turned on this is a good sign. Next, ground one end of a long solid wire to the battery and run the other end through the opening in the fender. It has to be long enough to be inserted into pin 22 of the connector, I used a paper clip and pushed into the back of the connector and then twisted the wire onto the paper clip. Start the car and turn the AC on. If the compressor does not come on, most likely the AC clutch control relay in the CCRM is bad and the CCRM should be replaced.8. Here are a couple of other things to consider. There is a still a very slight possibility the Power Control Module (PCM) could be the cause of the issue but, a bad PCM would most likely result in a lot more problems than just AC. When you turn on the AC you should hear a slight change in RPM and the cooling fan turns on. These are good signs as well because it indicates power to the CCRM and control from the PCM.

worked great, fixed the a/c issue

Put this part in my daughters car two months ago and it's still working. It fixed the smog pump and air conditioning problem.
