Q: ac will not come on, clutch will engage
last trip out ac was working perfect until I shut it off for a minute. When I turned it back on-nothing. When I stopped to look it over I saw the fan was locked up. So I replaced the fans as a unit, but the ac will still not come. I switched the relay with the wiper relay, still nothing, checked for blown fuses, found none.Then on line a read that it might be the transducer. That when it goes bad the clutch will not engage. I can buy one of those cheaper on line than at any shop. I also tried resetting the system by disconnecting the battery, but again-nothing. Any ideas ?
