you more than likely just have a bad ac pump
There is a relay on the top of the compressor that allows the clutch to engage. Check to see if it is bad by removing the relay and use a wire as a jumper while the car is running to see if the clutch engages. If the clutch engages once the jumper is in place then the relay is bad it cost under twenty dollars to replace.
The A/C compressor is clutch driven, when electricity is applied to a coil, it engages the clutch. Most likely the coil shorted out in the A/C clutch on the front of the compressor.
The compressor needs to be changed. There is no more pressure in it. It keeps working but only hot air is comes out.
If it has stopped working then you will need a new a/c compressor. Get out your wallet they will run you about $1200.
Sounds like you need to rebleed, and set your master cylinder for your clutch, Assuming you have a hydrolic clutch
It will have a centrifugal clutch by the engine, you do not need to control it, it engages at a curtain rpm.
clutch wont work will also leak fluid
A shuttering when the clutch engages
Engages and disengages the compressor clutch as needed.
The AC clutch is on the front of the compressor where the belt rides. When power is applied to the clutch it engages to turn the compressor. It is basically a magnet a/c compressor clutch is the ound thing on the front of the compressor with pulley wheel attached. this clutch is an electro magnetic clutch that when electricity is supplied, engages so as the a/c compressor is driven ,which can then pump freon thru the ac system
the compressor was working and now it has stopped, the clutch spins free but when i put my tester to the wires that connect to the compressor there is no power and the clutch dose not jump on can you help.
You need to make sure that your radiator fan is working properly. Some are fixed, some have a clutch that engages them when the engine heats up. Watch your fan when the engine is hot to see if it functions correctly.
