My air conditioning clutch will not stop spinning and I get no cold air. Any ideas? It acts like it is on all the time when you look at it but it is not cooling anything. I tried a recharge kit but nothing helps.

Hello,

Your car has the type of compressor that has no clutch, the unit is controlled by an internal valve so you can see if its on or off by looking. If the cold air isn't working then it probably needs a charge. Here is a link that will help you.

Please let us know what happens.
