    you have to make sure that the interior fan is running and the temperature is set low for it to even think of running.
     
  3. done that ian. full cold, full blower, the engine fan runs slow when the a/c button is pressed.
     
  4. will i see the compressor running or are these the new type where they run all the time
    cant really hear the clutch kicking in. rev drop slightly but that will the fan coming on

    No you will see the clutch spinning, if it's not spinning it's not getting a signal or the clutch pack is open circuit.

    I know it's a bit tight in there but if you can apply a voltage to the clutch solenoid coil to see if that working.
