Raymond, The clutch is designed NOT to engage when your refrigerant level is too low. Saves you from frying your compressor. Evacuate, refill, and try again.

When I turn on the A/C the fans inside the passenger compartment blow warm air. I looked at the compressor, and it isn't turning. After turning the engine off, I found that I can turn the compressor by hand. I don't believe the compressor is seized. My guess is that the compressor clutch isn't engaging. I plan to find and check the fuses and relays that send power to the compressor clutch. > > Does any know of a good way to temporarily jumper power to the clutch to see if it will engage?
