My AC worked fine as of a few days ago, however it stopped working, I don't know exactly when or what may have caused it to stop working but I have a feeling it might have something to do with the clutch and it does not engage when the AC is on as it used to.

History:

Playing with the wires/circuitry in the past had resolved the problem in the past but doing that now does not work.

I'm not a dumb person when it comes to mechanical repairs, I do have a Haynes manual but I'm just ignorant on where to start and what place would offer me the best parts (should I need to replace anything) to purchase.

Appreciate any help, it's still getting up in the 100's here in Yuma so I'd appreciate any and all advice.

it's possible that you have a leak in the system, which will also keep the clutch from engaging. have the system checked out to see if you have a leak.
