Re: 2000 SEL: AC clutch not engaging when hot
Sure, there are many variables- open sensors usually set HVAC codes- that flash control head displays- to indicate a problem-- is your control head doing anything amiss? I am more in tune to GM vehicles- but have wondered off into others at times....
I just play the percentages, the last dozen or so vehicles that I have fixed that have had your complaint (as you have described it) have almost all been wide air gaps-- you can replace the clutch, replace the compressor- and it will work-- but I always like to know exactly what is wrong and fix only what needs to be fixed- costs less money that way--and people seem to like that type of service.....
