So I came to this thread, checking for AC clutch engages and disengages. This is what is hapenning to me on my FT 86. Yesterday I went to start my car, which i'm not taking out for a long time. Most of the time I just go to my garage to start it , and take it for a ride just to refuel. Hard time here.
So like I always do I just start it , and I always check lights, etc, turn on the AC . then I started to hear a click.. at 2000rpm. I always idle it at around 2000rpm to charge battery for 15 minutes. Open up the hood and saw the ac clutch engaging and disengaging not instantly but every now and then, and when this happens I hear the radiator fan like kicking in and then stops revsd falling a bit . This left me really sad and worried. My ac is manual my ft it's base. Now my questions are

- I got my car for around 10 years never changed coolant on the compresor . Couple days ago temperature here reached around 45 C. Maybe this affected coolant.

- Dust on the belt pulley

- Thought about faulty relay, or fuse.

- I never changed car radiator refrigerant as it's quite specific , or water.

- Haven't done oil change since I got it. ( it's 2000km on dash)

- should I disconnect battery to reset ECU ?


So asking for all your help so I can calm down, I can't sleep since yesterday. Never had any problems.
