A.c. clutch not engaging

Asked by AUTONOOBS Aug 12, 2018 at 07:20 PM about the 2000 Chevrolet Tracker 4-Door 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So my a.c. isnt workimg on my 2000 chevy tracker.
light turns on, the fan turns on.. levels read on
attached image. Been searching for past 2 days
how to diagnose the clutch and see if it works by
jumping it but can't find a single video or
explanation on how to. It blows slightly but not
cold air.. the temp in the photo was about 75°f and
53% humidity. I'm still learning and would rather
not buy a whole new compressor if I don't need to.
I feel like I might but hoping there's something led
serious.. cam anyone tell me how to do it on thsi
specific vehicle? Videos I've seen don't show the
same fuse boxes or numbers.. any help would be
appreciated.

If you can get to the compressor plug in, unplug it use a test lite to check the wires with ignition and a/c on one of those wires should lite your lite if you have current you need to check the ground side to do this put one end of the test lite on the Pos battery terminal now check the wire that didn't lite it should lite now if it does the compressor clutch coil is bad I'll bet the power side didn't lite there are fuses and a relay in the circuit plus the switch inside start by checking fuses, test lite again ground test lite to battery negative or any other good ground then touch either side of a fuse if one side lites and the other doesn't it's a bad fuse hope this helps
