Ok, I've been searching the forum for my ac problems and not found any answers. I finally got to check my system out today. My ac still will not kick on and looking for any advise I can get. My dad thought maybe I had a leak but he hooked up his gauges and he said there's enough pressure in the system for it to work. We checked the fuse and it was good. We pulled the plug that goes to the ac compressor and he tested the voltage and it only read 2.5 volts. He though it should be 12 volts going to the compressor. Does anybody know what it should be getting? Ifs its not getting enought what would be causing that?
I also see people saying to test the relay fuse. How do you do that? I told him about that but he is not that familiar with a lot of the newer car stuff. DOUGLASMELTER said to check for voltage going to the clutch but how do I jump it to see if it will kick on?
My original post I mentioned last year I noticed that when the ac kicked on my car would idle harder than normal but only when the air came on. Also, it would make a squeeliong noise when I would hit my gas, not real loud but loud enough to hear it inside the car. Maybe if anyone know what that might be. I'm just looking for any input on whatelse to do with it. A few post makes me think it could be the clutch but I'd like to trouble shoot the less expensive thing and obvious things first.
Thanks
