AC Compressor does not turn on 850 1996

There is a clutch on the compressor but it's not going to engage if the coolant pressure is low. Unplug the sensor plug and jumper the pins. The clutch should then engage. If not you can try disconnecting the clutch plug down by the compressor and connecting it straight to the battery. The engine doesn't need to be on to do this. The clutch should then engage. If not then it's bad or you have a poor compressor ground. Good 850 ac info at: au.geocities.com/ozbrick850/aircon-keithP.html
