1995 Ford F-150 How to check compressor

“I just bought a used 1995 Ford F-150. A/C is not working, the Compressor seem in good condition as well as the compressor clutch, how can I check to see if I’m getting juice to the Com..connector and if I can test the Com..clutch by getting direct current from car’s battery to the connector in the compressor.”

To see if you’re getting electricity to the compressor clutch, just get a simple ten buck test light from any auto parts store. Stick the clamp end on any ground on the truck, and poke the sharp end into the line going to the compressor. If it lights up, you have power. If it doesn’t light up, then get a jumper wire and connect one end to the positive terminal of the battery. Connect the other one to the power feed on the AC clutch that you just checked, and see if it starts spinning when the truck is running. If it does, then you’ve lost power and will either have to trace the whole system down, or just rewire a new power supply to the compressor. If it doesn’t spin with power, then the clutch is worn out and you’d need a new compressor and possibly other work. good luck,
