i believe my a/c compressor clutch is not engaging. i say this because i turn my car on, turn the a/c on, and the pulley is not spinning i think(the 3 circles that form a triangle on the outside of the cylinder shaped compressor do not spin even though the belt attached is spinning.) i checked the fuses and theyre good. what do think the problem is?

That will be the result after most any failure. You will need to have it checked with professional gauges to determine if it even has enough refrigerant to activate the clutch.

Then you troubleshoot using a wiring diagram.
