Default Clutch is not kicking in
I am so sick of this car....the AC hose was leaking, I took apart the whole front end, replaced the AC hose, but my AC is not working. The AC compressor clutch is not kicking in...What could be the problem?
I checked all the fuses they seem to be fine.

hmmm I'm starting to think when i removed the ac hose from the compressor the freon must've evaporated...
could be the reason why the ac clutch didn't engage?

Yes it can the freon needs to come out to replace the hose. Then it needs to be filled back up.
