Hey everyone,
Haven't had a/c in about two years and wondering if it may be a simple fix. Two summers ago the a/c started taking a long time to blow cold air (7-10 min.). After that winter(last year), it would no longer operate at all. The heat works very well and all of the hi/lo fan speeds work as well as the zones.
I do not think there is a leak because when I turn the dial to a/c and then back to off it lets out that "woosh" sound like air escaping( i.e. it sounds like there is pressure in the system). When I look at the clutch with the a/c on and car running it is not engaging and does not engage with a broom handle. Could this be the CCPS? If so, how do I check that? Can I replace the clutch and not the compressor? (So I don't have to open the system?) Thank you all!
Also, I have checked the fuses and relays and nothing to report there.
The clutch is not frozen and will move when pryed on with medium pressure, but will not engage.
