I had the exact same scenario in this video on my 1993 Miata except my refrigerant temperature switch was bad. I looked into wiring diagrams and the switch was no where to be found. Apparently they come built in the compressors and are non-serviceable. My solution? I cut the power wire in to the switch and the power wire out of the switch and connected them together. First try after that and the A/C clutch kicked on and out the vents came ice cold air. I had the car 3 years prior to this with no A/C and finally got around to looking into it. I can't believe that was all the problem was and that my car still has the original R12 system going strong. Sure one day the consequences of that switch not being in line could come to haunt me, but I would have had to replace the compressor anyway to fix the switch.

Very thorough man. Most shops would have just checked freon pressure and if good told the lady yeah you need a complete compressor assembly without testing OR looking around for aftermarket clutch kits for her.
I can't tell you, even as a man, when I was younger how many different shops would lie or not properly troubleshoot and just throw parts at a problem. That is why I taught myself how to fix cars.
Wish you were local I'd use you for some repairs as I am older now, have no lift, and my body is falling apart on me.

Nowadays not really cost effective to do clutches alone on most applications. .by the time you pay for ac clutch, labor only to be installed on an old compressor, best to just go new compressor and be done with it. especially one like that with difficulty to get to and miles. the days of ac clutch replacement seem to be fading if not virtually gone

Is there a video, or could you tell, what could be the cause of the following A/C problem with my Outlander 2011: When moving knob for cool air below my feet or by the windshield it works okay, but when requiring cool air from the front panel vents there is almost nothing of air flow. Thanks in advance, Arturo.

The scope on the rope saves the day! I just did a similar diagnosis on my Mazda 3. All the circuits where getting power but when I jumped the ac clutch nothing happens no click, nothing. Time for a new clutch hope I can find one on the aftermarket. Your video was a great help! Thanks as always!

Whats the white hose for? The 2017 has a different casing and the replacement came with a white hose instead. Its working fine but The white hose is just hanging there now. Is it that big of a deal?
