The a/cc ompressor will not engage. All fuses appear to be ok.I did try turning the center hub by hand and it is very tight and hard to turn. Should I first try to recharge?Thanks bruce

You will have to get the system pressures tested first, if low get a leak check done.

Thanks mh but what about the center of this compressor. Is it normal for that to be tight and hard to turn by hand. The a/c compressor center hub on my monte carlo turns easily. Thanks bt

The system is holding pressure however the guage reads 120#. And compressor will not kick in. How do I check the compressor relay switch?
