Today was an interesting day of days.

Flushed system, pulled a vacuum, put in PAG 46 oil, added 12 oz. Of
refrigerant, expecting the compressor to turn on. It did not! Shut down and
started sleuthing. First tested the clutch - found it to be dead. Won't
even click. Checked the AC switch - no power to it. Pulled and tested all
pertinent fuses. Pulled and tested  pertinent relays except two: 2nd and
3rd stage radiator cooling fan items 10 and 11 on Bentley drawing page
87.3!     Could not find them per  the drawing.

Compressor clutch relay 9 needs to be rechecked.

On driving to a mechanic, a loud 'POP' was heard in thecrear follwed byban
extended shusssssssssssss sound. I stop in a parking lot, opened the rear
hatch and could still hear the soundnow coming from the left 'D' pillar. I
could feel air movement, thenfound wherevit came from. A rubber coated
device with two wires and a plug on it screwed into what appeared to be a
high pressure line had ruptured, and I lost the refrigerant. I have no idea
what that is nor what it does, besides leak gas. Can any one tell me. I
need to order parts.

I still need help in that the radiator/condensor fan will not turn on when
the AC switch is turned on.

Thanks for any input.
