Default DC resistance of the AC compressor clutch coil?

I'm guessing around 3 to 5 ohms - can anyone verify please?

That sounds about right and what I measured when I converted from R12 to R134a.
It draws about 3amps.

As I suspected - I've got one that's just about a dead short --- thanks for the fast response!

Glad to be of assistance.

BTW, I checked your profile and WTH. I had never heard of a hydrocoptic marzelvane. I researched it and found out that I also didn't know what a turbo encabulator was either. Good thing I found this video to clear it all up.

Sigmoid rumbling in a cave can be pretty ugly:
