My a/c is not working and the freon is full. I have been told I need to replace the fan clutch in order for the a/c to work. Is that right and how much should that cost?

Thank you

There are a hundred things that can prevent the clutch from engaging. Has anyone tested for power and ground at the clutch when energized?

I can honestly say I have no idea. I will tr to find that out but if the fan clutch is not working that would affect the a/c then?

It has nothing to do with the electrical connection to the clutch but the fact that it doesn't work will raise the pressure so much that it will burn out the compressor and clutch in short order.
