I know there is no volts what so ever going to the clutch. I can take power from the battery and hook up ground and power and it locks up the clutch.

Ok any help will be great I will go through and check all these again and ground it out just incase I missed it.
with Key in the run position engine off I get power for everyhing except the clutch. I heard the power goes out of the cycle switch somewhere then to the clutch?
I am sure I don't have 12 volts to the clutch. I will also do it the other way if it has ground then I will hook power to the power side of the clutch and that will also tell me if the relay is completing the ground.
Maybe I need to track down the power wire from the relay to the clutch.

Man this is so much better info then what I have been doing over at the auto ac forumn.
Is there a list of things you want me to check out before I get back with you again?
They were having me jumper the cycle switch to power up the system and this did work it gave me power to every thing except the clutch coil.
I will check the gorunds all my test were done with the jumper in the cycle switch.
Thanks for all the help

Ok I looked at the relay center on the firewall and there was no green/white wire going to any of the relays.
In the first relay 1 or 2 realys there were some green wires with different color tracers and a solid green.
what next?

i am a little confused as well. i am thinking they are describing the position of the relay for a 1997 SSE, not a 1992 SE or a 1993 SE like what I have. I am stuck on this problem...
On a 1993 Se, where is the compressor clutch relay??? thanks.

The reason your compressor is not running is because of a low pressure sensor on the high side system. When there is not enough coolant in the system, the sensor cuts power to the compressor to prevent damage.....Ironically this doesn't help when you know you don't have enough and are trying to put more in :?
THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY SIMPLE
Disconnect the negative battery terminal for 1 minute. This clears the memory in the ECM. Reconnect your battery.
Next, get your coolant/hose and everything ready and hooked up.
Turn on your car and turn the A/C on max. Your compressor will cycle on and you can now recharge your A/C.
