A-Premium's Air Conditioner AC Compressor Clutch Kit replaces the pulley, front plate, and electromagnetic coil to restore your vehicle's A/C engagement and pulley performance.

If your Ford Explorer or Police Interceptor Utility is showing signs of A/C slipping, noise, or a non-engaging compressor, this complete clutch kit provides the core components needed for a reliable repair without replacing the entire compressor. Designed for 12V systems using the 7SBH17/7SBH17C compressor style, the kit is built to match the original equipment characteristics: a 6-groove pulley measuring 116 mm in diameter and a direct-fit replacement approach to streamline installation.

How does this clutch kit restore my vehicle's air conditioning?

The kit renews the mechanical and electromagnetic parts that engage and spin the compressor when the A/C system calls for cooling. Replacing the worn pulley, coil, and front plate removes common failure points that cause slippage, grinding noises, or failure to engage.

  • Includes pulley with bearing, front plate, and electromagnetic coil for complete clutch function.
  • Pulley designed with six grooves to match OEM serpentine belt routing.
  • 116 mm pulley diameter and 12V coil match factory specifications for proper engagement.

Which vehicles and compressor types will this kit fit?

This clutch kit is matched to compressors using the 7SBH17/7SBH17C configuration and specified pulley dimensions. It is primarily intended for select Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility models with V6 engines from the listed years.

  • Compatible models: Ford Explorer 2011–2012 V6 3.5L and 2013–2015 V6 3.5L (naturally aspirated).
  • Also fits Police Interceptor Utility 2013–2015 V6 3.7L applications where that compressor style is used.
  • Always verify fitment with your vehicle VIN or garage tool before ordering.

What are the technical specifications and installation considerations?

The kit is specified to work on 12V automotive systems and follows the OEM groove count and diameter to ensure belt alignment and load distribution. Installation requires basic A/C service knowledge and appropriate tools for clutch removal and torqueing.

  • Compressor style: 7SBH17 / 7SBH17C — ensures mechanical compatibility.
  • Pulley grooves: 6; Pulley diameter: 116 mm; Voltage: 12V.
  • Packaged items: pulley with bearing, front plate, and electromagnetic coil for a straightforward replacement.

What warranty and purchase notes should I be aware of?

A-Premium backs this assembly with a one-year unlimited-mileage guarantee, giving added confidence when repairing A/C engagement components. Before purchasing, enter your vehicle details in the listing and consult the product's special notes to confirm correct fitment.

  • One-year unlimited-mileage guarantee from A-Premium.
  • Check vehicle compatibility using the provided garage or VIN lookup tool.
  • Follow special notes on the listing for any model-specific instructions.

Who this is for: This A-Premium AC Compressor Clutch Kit is intended for do-it-yourself mechanics, independent shops, and fleet maintenance teams looking to repair a failing A/C clutch on compatible Ford Explorers and Police Interceptor Utility vehicles without replacing the entire compressor. If you need the pulley, bearing, front plate, and coil replaced as a matched set to restore reliable compressor engagement and belt alignment, this kit delivers OEM-matching dimensions and a manufacturer-backed warranty for peace of mind.
