Quick A/C problem diagnosis


Posted by Bob S. on April 09, 04 at 01:34:06:

When I recently purchased my 99 K2500 I checked out the A/C as best one can in earl spring and it was functioning normally. Yesaterday I had a reason to turn it on and nothing.

The A/C compressor clutch is not engaging.

After checking the two fuses I found, one under the hood in the power distrubution/fuse panel and the other on the left side of the dash I found them to be ok.

I found no voltage getting to the connector for the clutch.

What looks like a high or low pressure switch on the top of the compressor appears to be open.

Is this normally open or normally closed?

Any other simple tips before I take in for a service?

Sounds like a low charge condition to me a.k.a. a system leak.
