This could be because you have a leak in you A/C system causing a loss of freon. When there is not enough freon in your system the A/C compressor will not engage, it will harm the compressor.

Ac compressor not coming on in a 1992 Buick?

Either low on freon or the low pressure switch is bad. You are gonna have to put a set of gauges on it. Usually this happens when the freon leaks out of the system. If there is not enough freon in the system, the low pressure switch keeps the compressor from coming on and being burned up.


On a 1992 Park Ave there is no freon in the system Compressor does not engage Tried to turn it on through the connection wires does not go on. Is this due to no freon or faulty compressor?

On a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird how do you get the ac compressor to turn while adding a can of 134a?

If the A/C system is empty the compressor will not turn until you get enough refrigerant in it. Just turn on the A/C and hook up your can of freon. Once the freon starts filling the system the A/C clutch will engage.

You will have to figure out why: This the 90% of the time failur: Is there Freon in the system, if there is not a minimum pressure, usually 17 PSI, the compressor will not run. Is the compressor and clutch capable of working? Is the fuse in good shape.
