Help your A/C compressor clutch engage on command with the Standard Ignition A/C Clutch Relay, part number RY-68. This relay is also listed as an A/C compressor control relay and an HVAC relay. It is an electrical switch: a low-current control signal turns power to the compressor clutch on and off. It fits many Ford and Mercury vehicles, among them the 1982-1989 Ford Mustang, 1986-1989 Ford Taurus and 1981-1989 Ford Escort, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.

  • Part number: RY-68, also written RY68.
  • Listed as: relay, A/C clutch relay, A/C compressor control relay and HVAC relay. These are all names for the same part.
  • Engine coverage: listed for all engines on each application.
  • Quantity: the listed applications use one relay.

If a failed relay is why the compressor clutch won't engage, this relay replaces it. Warm air from the vents can also come from low refrigerant, a worn clutch, a blown fuse or damaged wiring, so diagnose the A/C circuit before replacing parts. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of Ford and Mercury applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a starter relay for a 1982-1989 Ford Mustang?

No. RY-68 is an A/C clutch relay, also listed as an A/C compressor control relay or HVAC relay. It switches power to the compressor clutch. It is not a starter relay.

Does RY-68 fit a 1986-1989 Ford Taurus or a 1981-1989 Ford Escort?

Yes. Both are listed applications for all engines, and each uses one relay. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the other Ford and Mercury vehicles it fits.

What does an A/C clutch relay do?

It lets a low-current control signal switch the higher-current circuit that powers the A/C compressor clutch, so the compressor engages when the system calls for cooling.

What are signs this relay may need replacing?

Signs include a compressor clutch that won't engage, A/C that blows warm, or cooling that cuts in and out. Refrigerant, fuses and wiring can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose first.

How many relays do I need, and how is it installed?

The listed applications use one relay. Consult the vehicle service information for the relay's location and the correct replacement procedure.
