Rick jay and Doug, thanks for the feedback about no compressor running.
This is a quote from the invoice.
"Checked A/C. Recovered system. Was about a pound low. Charged to 4.2 lbs. Test ran. Clutch is not engaging". I have no idea if they bypassed the low pressure switch.
Tiffins suggestion for fuse location was no help. I'm going to have to check every fuse that I can locate.
Complete BS from that Service center.
1. There is NO WAY to charge to 4.2 lbs without the compressor running. NO WAY to charge at all. They LIED
2. Clutch Not engaging. TRUE. BUT, If they DID BYPASS the Low pressure switch, do you not think they would have TOLD YOU?
3. Recovered System? Another LIE. Yes, they can remove the existing 134a by a recovery system, then charge the correct lbs/ozs.
4. A POUND LOW? Another lie, there is NO WAY to determine how low the system actually is.
5. So, I assume you paid for a bogus AC checkout/repair and ALSO paid for some 134a?
6. You do NOT have to check fuses. The Low Pressure switch is located either up front by the Evap box or at the rear on top the engine on the hoses to the compressor. Either check for continuity of 12 volts at the switch, or do what I do. Install a jumper wire between the 2 wires at the switch. It is VERY RARE to have the compressor fuse blow.
