The good news is that "Bar's Leaks" seems to have made my water pump stop leaking. At least it's down to a barely detectable drip instead of a steadystream. I've bought myself some time at the very least.
But now I've got a new problem: no A/C. Not good in the Texas heat! (and with such tiny windows)
The compressor clutch is not kicking in. I checked the voltage to the wire on top ofthe compressor (I assume that's for the clutch) and got no voltage. I was tempted to hook 12V to the clutch to see if it would engage, but the resistance through it is 4 ohms, which seems low.
I know the modeswitch is working, since selecting A/C turns on the cooling fans, just notthe compressor.
I'm going to try bypassing the pressure switch, just as soon as I find it, but I have a hard time believing that enough freon escaped to take me from arctic blast tono-go over lunch. Any other troubleshooting suggestions?
