Tests this morning would indicate that the compressor clutch is open circuited. Ohmmeter readings are open and applying B+ directly to the connector at the compressor yield no response.
Sigh. I can't see attempting to replace the clutch in car since I don't have all the required tools. What kind of a job is replacing the compressor on this beast like? It's really stuck in there, but I'm just looking at it from the top. Also, this is currently an R12 system. I really don't want to convert it, as R134a in these systems just doesn't cut it in this climate. I have one can of R12, which I am sure will not be enough to charge the system. Can I go with propane and not have to hassle with purging the system and all that? Suggestions are welcome. I have not yet convinced myself that I want to do this, but I don't have any trusted auto AC people around here to work with, either...
