hey, ive got a 96 gt that the ac doesnt work in. the shop told me that the ac clutch was bad so i wet ahead and replaced the compressor, since it was so old anyway. i vacumed the system for 45 min, added 134 but the clutch will not come on. i have voltage at the clutch. WHAT AM I MISSING? thanks for any suggestion you may have

figured it out. the clutch cycling switch was bad. jumped the switch to get the clutch to engage which inturn drew the freon into the system. replaced the switch for $12. the shop was trying to rip me off for some labor on a easy fix.

sometimes, people at shops just dont quite know what theyre dong, and rather than having the balls to admit it, they start throwing parts at it. its understandable why they thought the clutch was bad when it was th l/p switch, but a good a/c technician would have better troubleshot it and figured it out. sorry bout your expenses there to find out.

I have the same prob, how did you jump the cycling switch? Is this the switch on the high pressure side of the compressor? thanks
