I would think that if it didn't, then I'm definitely looking at a electrical malfunction?
Its not a big deal if I get this fixed or not seeing as how the truck now resides in sunny Buffalo, NY. But it would be nice to have if it is easy and reasonable enough to fix--otherwise the truck is in great shape.
You mentioned the clutch cycle switch, would that be what I am seeing on the schematic as the thermo-switch behind the dash?

The refrigerant in an AC sytem is a closed system and does not run out of juice due to usage but may leak due to a system integrety fault. If you cannot get hold of a gauge you can probably get it tested for about $30.
