The problem started at high RPMs. I would get a loud screeching sound.....finally the armature plate froze up and sparks came out......I replaced the entire clutch kit and it does the same thing....soon as you turn the A/C on it screeches and the armature plate is not turning...no cold air is coming out....Is the compressor bad?

Hi michaelscivic,

Did you test if the compressor is seized?
