Hi, my AC compressor clutch will not engage. The pressure was on red, so I managed to get that down to green now. Is there a way to manually engage the clutch?

There is no relay so you will need to test for power check the system fuses which there are three that run the system.

Try to let even more refrigerant out to see if that will kick the system on.

Here are the air conditioner wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which fuses to check.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
