Re: 97 Lumina, A/C Dead, Compressor Not Engaging,
Compressor is "ded" because you lost all your refrigerant due to a leak---65% of mobile a/c failure are due to a leak--
Most likely a shaft seal and compressor belly leak---which can be resealed- but most just opt for a new compressor;
97 Lumina (vans- APVs) with rear air are prone to the liquid line leak just above the gas tank filler tube- under the rubber insulator...Is yours oily there?
Is yours a APV or a sedan...
