My 96 ford f150, 4.9 - 5 speed, had set for a number of years with little to no use. No that I have it back on the road and completed a lot of necessary repairs its time to address the a/c. My just does not work. I checked the fuse it's fine but the clutch does not kick in, so there is an obvious problem. Does anyone know of a link or previous thread that defines the step by step procedures to diagnose the problems with the A/C? I appreciate your help.

 

The first thing to do is check the refrigerant charge. The compressor won't kick on if it is low.

 

I need to check it again, its been a while, but if I remember correctly th \e pressure is high!

Thanks, 77

 

Like 77Ranger said if its low it wont kick on if it is good then compressor most likely needs replaced. I don't know if they replace only clutches on those badboys or not..
