THE AC ON MY 850 IS NOT WORKING. WHEN THE AC IS SWITCHED ON THE CLUTCH DOES NOT EVEN ENGAGE. CAN THIS BE BECAUSE OF A LOW CHARGE CONDITION? IF IT CAN BE CAN I RECHARGE IT MYSELF? THE ONLY "CHARGE PORT" THAT I SEE IS NEXT TO THE FIREWALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, IT IS MARKED MAX.6Nm. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECEIATED. NOTE I BOUGHT THE CAR LAST FALL AND I JUST NOW AM TRYING THE AC. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS ON THE CAR 133000 MILES EXCEPT THE CRUISE BUT I'LL SAVE THAT FOR ANOTHE FORUM.

I HAVE JUMPED THE LOW PRESS. CUT OUT SWITCH, STILL THE COMPRESSOR DOES NOT KICK IN. I HAVE TRIED TO SPIN THE CLUTCH ITSELF AND IT SEEMS TO SPIN FRELLY. WHAT ELSE CAN I TRY? THE CLUTCH WILL NOT OPERATE IN EITHER AC OR DEFROST, WITH THE CUT OUT SWITCH JUMPED???????

i have a 96 850 so i am going off of my car my charge port for the low pressure side is on the lower passenger side frame rail directly below the power steering resevior your 93 may be the one you need to use if the fitting you are talking about is on the line with the low pressure switch then that is the one your charge hose kit will not fit the incorrect fitting you will need a socket or wrench to get that cap off hope it helps

I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED AND THE ONLY CHARGE POINT I CAN SEE IS AT THE FIRE WALL NEXT TO WHAT I THINK IS THE LOW PRESS. SWITCH. I CONSIDER MYSELF PRETTY MECHANICLY (?) INCLINED BUT I STILL CAN FIND IT.

If you haven't found out yet - on the 93 the charge connection is near the firewall. They moved it in 94 so that you can have the skin taken off your knuckles if you get to close to the belts.

i have a 96 850glt and my charge point is on the passenger side close to the radiator along the frame it must be charged on the low pressure side only get a couple of cans of r134a refridgerant if that is the type and a charger hose kit from auto parts store or even walmart start up the car hookup the hose to the can of freon make sure the valve on the hose is screwed counter clockwise allthe way put the hose on the can and screw it in clockwise hook the cans hose to the charging port and open the hose it might take a can or so before the compressor stays on continuosly it will cycle on and off until the low pressure cutout switch is satified once you charge it if it only stays cold for a couple of days you have a leak they sell stop leak in a freon can try that if that doesnt seal the leak you will probably need to take it to a garage for repairs hope this helped good luck
