My A/C compressor diagnosis

[Joeseph Mama]

Love doing A/C work; here I am doing a low pressure charge of a 2004 buick lesabre. I jumped the a/c compressor clutch relay using a paper clip in order to ‘force’ the compressor clutch to engage. Once the system had about 25psi of pressure I was able to diagnose a bad compressor; both low-side and high-side pressures were equal despite compressor clutch engagement.
