        is your compressor kicking in? If not then either your low on freon, or the the pressure switch crapped out.

                usually I see places like presicion tune, shclep boys, or even sears advertising for free checkups or at least low cost one. Find out what they say & go fix it yourself ;)

                    the guy at this chevron place tested and i have no pressure at all, he said he could find the problem for $38. they checked the pressure for free, but does anyone know where they could diagnose the problem for free. I guess they have to charge it to see where the leak is, but I dont have the $$$$...its $16 per pound of this stuff. wondering if I should save my money for the t-top kit and just leave the a/c on for now and later delete it. huh...sighhh

                      There are 2 pressure switches, one on the hi pressure line, one on the low pressure line. Try disconnecting the 2 pole switch and jump wire the connector. If the clutch engages you problably only need a recharge. Is there a leak somwhere you must find the leak with a charge and a leak detector.
                      You can also try connecting the ac clutch directly to 12 volts to see if it engages. Be careful with the connector....try finding a connector and make a jumper wire.

                      let me know how this proceeds----
