Re: A/C Compressor Clutch Resistance

Thanks. Compressor not seized. Just the clutch would not engage. I replaced the clutch only and solved the problem. Well, now there's another problem -- after an hour or so on the highway, the A/C stops cooling. A check shows that the refrigerant level is low, but there are no detectable leaks. It's seems like the system might be dumping refrigerant suddenly. Maybe an overpressure?

The clutch is on the end of the pulley. It should move but not spin. Start the car & visually inspect
