Hey Scotty, hope you doing good, big fan, great channel! I have a 2009 Ford f 150 lariat 4x4 5.4 over 130k miles. The ac stopped working, the first time I read the gauges, the low side had high pressure because someone added freon, and the high side was on 0, I looked and compresor clutch wasn't working, checked fuses, relays, and everything good, I changed the Compresor, the expansion valve, vacuum the lines and refill like you suggested in one of your videos, but I saw that the gauges did not read any pressure in the lines, and also the Compresor clutch didn't start, I only filled it with one can, I know it uses two(24oz) but I didn't because I didn't wanted to waste, I don't know If I have to fill it all up so the clutch can fill the pressure! Or there's something wrong with the compresor wires. Also when I vacuum it I did it with the new compressor, so I don't know if the Compresor oil was vacuumed as well. Thanks for your time, and I hope you can help me out!

You can test the clutch coil by briefly hot-wiring it to the car battery. With the engine off you should hear the clutch clicking on. If it doesn't do that then the coil is no good. (I don't recommend doing it with the engine running unless you are absolutely certain there is sufficient refrigerant and oil in the system so as not to damage the compressor.)


Awesome, Ill give it a try, thank you, I'll write back to let you know! Again, thank you!
