The Four Seasons 36140 relay for the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V and other vehicles is the Deslugger compressor clutch timer. It helps protect the A/C compressor when it starts.
- Part of the Four Seasons Deslugger line, engineered and tested for years of trouble-free operation.
- Backed by over 50 years of Four Seasons experience with mobile A/C.
- Patented part that targets the common OE problem of slugging compressors and is intended to extend compressor life.
- Cycles the compressor multiple times to push pooled oil and refrigerant out gradually before normal operation.
- Without it, the compressor must work much harder to push all of the oil out at once, which stresses the system.
A noisy, shaky compressor at start-up can damage the A/C system, and this relay is intended to address that problem as well. Warm air from the vents or a compressor clutch that won't engage can mean a failed relay, though wiring, refrigerant charge or the clutch itself can show the same signs. With the engine off, look over the relay's wires and connector for corrosion, and let a shop test the clutch circuit.
On the 2002-2006 Honda CR-V with a scroll-type compressor, it fits as the compressor clutch control relay. The vehicles it fits also include the 2003-2007 Honda Accord and 2002-2006 Toyota Camry, where it is a recommended add-on for a low-mounted compressor rather than the A/C relay.

Is this a 2002-2006 Toyota Camry relay or an add-on?
It is an add-on. On the 2002-2006 Toyota Camry, the Four Seasons 36140 fits as a recommended Deslugger for a low-mounted compressor, not as the A/C relay.
Does the Deslugger relay come with an instruction sheet?
Yes. This Deslugger relay comes with an instruction sheet in the box.
What voltage and amp rating does this Deslugger relay have?
This relay is rated at 12 V and 30 A, and it connects through 4 wire-lead terminals.
How does the 36140 relay handle compressor slugging?
At start-up, this relay cycles the compressor multiple times so pooled oil and refrigerant leave gradually before normal operation, which helps protect the compressor.
