Re: 2000 Regal GS No AC
W cars are known for stripped actuator motors- there are fixes for them, but you may just want to buy a new one-- autozone has them. If you hear clicking, follow the noise and find the actuator that is stripped.
You say refrigerant is "good" but there is only one way to know for sure- and that is to recover and weigh it- the number one cause of poor cooling is loss of charge due to a leak- Your variable stroke compressor will run with 95% of refrigerant gone! Cooling goes bad at about half charge gone...
Hint- look at compressor belly, is it oily/greasy- dripping?
