Default Re: AC Compressor Bad?

You can hear it engage and check it against the friction on the pulley. EASY. Let us know if you need more details. DO NOT rush out to buy a compressor just because you are certain the compressor/clutch is not engaging without first preforming several tests.
Where is the relay please and it's connection for the clutch? Thank you
