My wife's in OR and I'm in WA and her a/c compressor has seized. The clutch is engaged so the pully will not turn. What could the matter be? I've talked her through a couple items; turn off a/c switch, remove fuse, tap compressor gently. Nothing. My goal is to get her home so I can remove/repair/replace the offending part. Is it a relay? Should it be normally closed or open. I would think without power, the clutch would be disengaged and the pully would spin preely. Does the coil pull a keyed pin into place or somesuch other mechanical interlock that may be stuck? Thanks for any help, folks.
