Default 91 944S2 has no power to A/C clutch - Plenty of freon but no A/C

Hey everyone,

My 91 944S2 has no power to the A/C clutch, per my A/C specialist. Freon is fully charged with no leaks. Relay and fuse are both fine. When I press the snowflake button the light comes on, but nothing happens. Clutch doesn't engage. But if you jump the clutch it seems to work fine.

Could this be an electrical/wiring problem or maybe a problem with the climate control panel?

My A/C specialist says it will take several hours to dig into the electrical system.

I just know it's probably something simpler like the a/c switch or climate control panel?

Anyone have any advise or simple fixes to try?

Thanks.

Nick

When you say Jump the clutch what exactly are you "jumping?" Once you do this the system runs and blows cold air?

Default Problem solved

I took the climate control panel out and wiggled the connections around.

A/C now comes on and runs perfectly.

Frozen clutch plate, or shot bearings. Both can be fatal. Remove it and replace, w/ exact OEM part.
