The problem was the CCRM. Plugged in a new unit and the A/C compressor works like new...! Got the part from Steve at Tousley Ford. Great service from those guys...!

CCRM= Constant Control Relay Module.

Basicly a bank of relays in a box that controls stuff like Cooling fans, fuel pump, A/C clutch, etc....

Glad you got it worked out. Sad to say, that's not an uncommon problem.

Back when I had my 95, one of the relays went out inside the box. Believe it or not, it's the same relays your buy off the shelf for fog lights, etc, but they have tiny connectors on the bottom side.

I took the CCRM a part, bout a 40amp from Radio Shack, filed off the connectors and soldered it on the board. Worked for about a year after that.
