My AC won't kick on. I don't think it is the clutch that is bad but maybe something electrical that tells the clutch to engage. Any points of interest I should look at. How can I tell if the AC clutch relay is bad? Any other fuses/relays to look at?

You can take it to any shop that deals with AC's and they can hook it up to see if it is in fact getting power. Mine died about this time last year.... luckily the stealership had to fix it.

If the charge is low it will not come on. Need a gauge to check.

check to see if there is power at the plug to the compressor clutch, if there is then 99% chance you need to be checking the refrigerant charge

Thanks all, I found that the charge was low. I should have checked that first. May have leaked from sitting without being run for over three months. I may need to replace some seals.
