Can anyone tell me why my clutch on my air conditioning compressor will not ingage? I replaced the front end of the compressor last year because the bearing became worn and wobbley. Seemed to be workiing fine until this summer. Cannot get the clutch to engage so compressor will not cool. I've tried adding freon, jumping the switch under the hood and tonight will be trying to jump the relay. Any other suggestions on what I should be doing would be appreciated.
