94 Explorer AC help

[87rangerxlt]

last summer my Ac worked really good now that its getting warmer out i went to use it the other day and nothing. so after a little wooking around i found that the compressor is not comeing on. so i ran jumper wires to the compressor to see if the clutch would engage and it dose so its not that. i have no power going to the compressor. i took the relay out of the fues box and swaped it with the one for the fan to see if that was the problem but it still won't come on. so now im stuped maybe some one hear can point me in the right way

I see that you don't really know anything about A/C except that there is a relay and a clutch coil.

There is a low-charge protection mode. Basically if the system pressure falls below a certain point it won't let the clutch engage. Given that it's a 94 I'm willing to bet that the system has a leak and has discharged itself over the winter.


As to the temp issue, have you tried rolling down a window? I've found that to be a highly effective practice.

You're most likely very low on refrigerant.
