I also am having AC trouble -no system leaks - freon level is fine, fan works, but no cool air. The clutch is not kicking in - perhaps an electrical problem. My understanding is replace the clutch assembly requires a new compressor ( $$$$ ). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi there,

The first thing to do with any A/C issue is to get the hi/low pressures checked, this will tell the tech a great deal about the condition of the A/C it well may be a pressure issue and the high/low pressure switch has activated shutting down the system.
