This recently bought used car is in fine condition ,I had the Freon Charged ,Temp was approx. 46 degrees for 3 months...Now the Green Lit A/C Switch does not engage the Compressor Pump, which looks newly replaced.The Belt is running the Pulley Fine...the Clutch unit just stays still...but I turned it easily with my hand....with the engine off. I'm thinking it is a dis-connect of 12volts Positive to the compressor plug in Wire ,due to a failed A/C Relay switch.But I don't know where this Relay is Located,or how to test it....should I just buy a new one,and plug it in, to engage the clutch again..as the system was working Fine for 3 Months ?? Or. Should I take it to an auto electrical service shop...? As they are very Secretive about how they fixed it ,
And quite Costly...( Rip- Off Specialists ). It is a V-6, 2.5 Liter,fwd.
