[Leigh Smith]

Does clutch operate normally?
If so it has some freon
If clutch only operates when pressure cycling switch is bypassed wired it is
empty of freon
Even if it has some freon it may not be cold enough
Check the 2 lines near the batt/rad
one should be warm and one should be cold
If they are you got some freon
If it is not cold enough in the car it is just low
