Thermal Fuse in Clutch Coil
A thermal fuse is placed inside the clutch coil to sensor high heat temperatures. Its function is to sense extreme heat from clutch slippage, then the thermal fuse breaks. With the open fuse, it will not allow the electrical current to flow to the clutch coil. This function disengages the clutch armature from the clutch pulley and allows the clutch pulley to spin freely acting as an idler pulley.
The thermal fuse prevents the loss of the accessory drive belt. Also, the thermal fuse cannot be reset or replaced after breaking open. The compressor must be replaced and maintenance of the system must be done.
