A/C clutch not kicking in
Okay, after the installation of my gauges, I go out and drive the car around a bit, I get back home, park it.
Next morning, driving to work, I notice my A/C not working. I turn the hvac **** to a/c and max a/c. The clutch isnt even kicking in.
Ive checked #23 15A (A/C Clutch/Defogger Switch) fuse located under steering column, fine.
Checked all fuses in the engine bay (left hand side), fine.
A/C Clutches dont magically go out like this, It has to be electrical connection somewhere that might of
gotten unplugged, but I cannot find anything. I soldered the power wires for my gauges to the grey w/yellow stripe wire
directly under my steering column for gauge power.
Anybody have any ideas?

RE: A/C clutch not kicking in
A/c clutches Do magicly go out like that.Start the car and jump a wire to the ac clutch if it doesnt turn on its bad.I'd bet thats what it is.Its a magnet and they dont go slowly they go all at once
Why would you solder on random wires and not just run it to the fuse box??
