89 GTU AC wont kick on
89 GTU AC wont kick on
My 1989 GTU A/C clutch will not come on by itself. I checked and added refrigerant and it is good fuses seem good. Is there something else that can cause a problem? If I put current directly to the compressor it does turn on and it is cold.

Split topic since its a completely different subject.
Re: 89 GTU AC wont kick on
Where is the relay? Fuses are good. Do you guys know which is the low pressure switch and high pressure switch for the A/C?

Re: 89 GTU AC wont kick on
Low pressure switch on my 89 GT is on the compressor body itself. Also, I believe that the PS hose has a cutoff switch in it as well (supposed to cut out the AC if you are doing parking lot maneuvers). This is a case where you need a wiring diagram, it would help end some of the guessing. I haven't looked there in a while, but you used to be able to access service manuals at autozone.com.
