Can someone explain to me or show me how to jump start an A/C compressor. My compressor and A/C fan isn't turning on. All the fuses look good.

The first thing you're going to want to check is the Freon level. If there's a leak the gas level will fall and the compressor pressure switch will keep the compressor from kicking in. A leak could be something small such as the o rings on the receiver/dryer or the compressor block, to a bigger pain of a leak in the condenser. If the compressor is locked up usually it'll make a slapping sound before it goes completely out. Rarely you can have a bad compressor clutch, but that's very rare on our compressors. Check to make sure that the lead didn't get knocked off the clutch. Again rare, but it happens. 99% of the time if the compressor is good it’s the gas level.

Yeah we checked the freon level, but its full, i think the gauge might of read there was more than max in there. I'll check that lead compressor clutch. Thanks man.
