1994 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

The compressor is not coming on. Th comprerssor is turning freely. A hose came loose and coolant went into the harness that connects to the compressor. I replaced the hose and soon afterthe compressor stopped coming on. The fuses are not blown. I'm just trying to find out if the compressor is turning freely, is it bad? I thought it locked up when it went out? Or did the coolant that shot everywhere have something to do with the compressor not coming on? I cleaned the harness out and reconnected it. Should I try replacing that first?

Have you checked the freon level? If it is low, the compressor won't work. Also, have you checked if the clutch is getting power?
