have a 96 s10 4.3 liter v6 replaced the a/c compressor about 2 weeks ago had a full a/c service $95 truck blew ice cold air now compressor clutch won't turn so no cold air what i notice after having the a/c serviced the mechanics forgot to put the valve cap back on the drier so im assuming all the r-134 refrigerant blew out because the valve cap wasn't there i checked the clutch it moves freely with my hand no noise or anything

the Freon won't blow out with the cap off there is a valve there you can take it back and see if the Freon is out or valve leaking. check fuses and relays underhood might have blown a fuse or relay went bad. if it's with in two weeks most shops will take care of it if it's their problem.
