The ac compressor does not get power , what can it be, where could the problem be ...om not familiar with the system at all so where should I start

 

The first thing I would do is to start the car and turn on the a/c. Do both fans on the radiator turn on?

For some preliminary testing, start at the pressure switch. It is on one of the a/c metal hoses under the battery tray.

Unplug that pressure switch. You can jump the electrical connector with a piece of wire, then start the car and turn on the a/c. If the compressor turns on, turn off your car immediately. That would mean that you have low pressure and have a leak in your a/c system. Or a faulty pressure switch.

If the a/c compressor clutch does not engage, we can give you some other tests to try.

 

when you say it does not get any power?are you saying it doesn't turn on?or it doesn't get cold?or turns on but does not get cold?which 1 is it?
