[Shotimes] AC question

[matt S]

Thinking about it.. I "believe" its the clutch pressure switch on the 
evaporator.. gonna replace it as soon as the part comes in.  Tried to jump 
it and it still didnt engage clutch, and I couldnt get any voltage reading 
(unless my voltmeter was broken :o)  )  Ill let yal know what happens when i 
replace it, hopefully its not to hard to do.. Helms says to refer to some 
other manual to replace it.. I assume its pretty straight forward given the 
nature of it. (just have to locate the other end).
