How do you do that to a 2005 ford taurus?

There are usually good reasons why your computer won't engage the clutch on the compressor. Specifically if your system is low on pressure or empty. That combined with forcing a constant-on duty cycle are much more likely to burn out your compressor faster and/or make your initial problem even worse in the end. It is much better to diagnose the problem and fix it properly rather than running your car with paperclips in the fuse box.

@sephoratrading You really should have read his description.

Yup helped me alot, I did this on my 98 chevy suburban and sure enough it worked. After i engaged i heard a loud hissing where the hoses go into the firewall of the truck and they seem pretty loose, therefore the air is not getting in to the cabin. Thanx for the tip

Nice car?? You dont even get a good look at it, not saying that its not,but! Good vid ;)

it's 30 and 87...not 87a. 30 and 87a are connected when the relay is off. 30 and 87 are connected when the relay is on.
