Your compressor is probably seized. Visual inspection of that is stupidly easy, and should have been the first thing you did. Bumping a 6 year old thread, however, is the thing you should have done never.

Look at all these random *** replies.... reminds me of why I always hated this forum. Everyone knows the answer and tells you to change this/that when the answer is clearly wrong.


How do people even find this thread? Search function sucks, but two people found it and bumped it over the span of six years?

Oh hey, check that out, RonJ was nice enough to split your shitpost out. Now then, give this thread a read, and fill in the gaps you've left - there are a lot of them.

Once you've done that, visually inspect your AC compressor. Start the car, and have a friend click the AC button while you stare at it. Does it spin? Does the belt slip? Visual checks are diagnostics 101 for nearly ANYTHING on a car.
