AC compressor(?) quit clicking today - it's hot outside!
99 S70 Non-turbo. I usually have to add refrigerant once a season, no big deal. Noticed a week ago that the AC was cycling frequently and the air wasn't as cold as it used to be, so I filled her up with refrigerant like usual. All was fine for a day or so, and then I noticed that the usual "clicking" I've come to know so well from my AC system has stopped. PSi readings suggest I'm good on refrigerant levels. I turn on the AC max and recirc - and all i get is hot air -- no clicks.
Am I screwed? Could I possibly be so lucky to hope that it just may be a blown fuse or do i need to go ahead and get a loan to get this thing fixed?

ok cool -- i did see some earlier posts about this shim process. When you say "bump", you mean like hit it with my hand or something?

I'm going to upload a video of mine tomorrow. I'm starting to think my compressor is shot. My clutch "engages" more or less, and moves very slowly for about half a turn and whips around for the other half, but it's almost as if the pulley itself isn't turning and is only moving because of the belt. Tried to refill but couldn't get a good reading on my gauge. I had to push so hard to get the damn thing to stay on that the PSI skyrockets and never comes back down.
