Hey all,
Friend of mine has a 3.8L commodore (1994) and the A/C doesn't work. Checked the fuses under the steering column and they look visually ok and I've swapped the relay under the bonnet for the A/C compressor with no joy. Apparently it's never worked while she's had it but she hates driving it in the summer (fair enough really
).
When turning it on (digital climate control), no rev changes and no click of compressor starting up. Belt/pulley is spinning but the compressor doesn't turn at all.
Don't want to go through and do a big job on it, but is there anything else that can be checked easily to at least find the fault? Is there an easy way to check if it's got enough gas? (I'm assuming it won't engage or anything if the gas level is low??)
