Can you bypass the air conditioner compressor?
You can move the compressor aside, bolt the pulley in place and use your original belt with the air conditioning compressor bypass pulleys from 1A Auto. If you decide you want to fix the A/C system, you can remove the pulley and re-bolt the compressor. ...
Can you turn a car AC compressor by hand?
Yes, the clutch does not move "normally" until the a/c is activated and then it does spin with the pulley. However the clutch assy and compressor are mounted on the same keyed shaft and turn together ALWAYS. Therefore if you turn the clutch assy by any means it will be turning the compressor.

Where is the AC pressure switch located?
The AC pressure switches are located on either side of the AC unit. You will find one switch on the high side and another on the low side. The low-pressure side switch is found before the AC compressor, while the high-pressure switch comes after the compressor.
Will AC compressor turn on without freon?

What controls the AC compressor clutch?
An air conditioning compressor clutch gets its power from the flywheel of your car's engine. It is controlled using a clutch system where its shaft is engaged and disengaged to a rotating shaft of the flywheel using an electromagnetic switch.
What would cause an AC clutch to not engage?
One of the reasons why compressors do not engage is because of a low pressure lockout, a poor ground, a bad clutch coil, an opening in the wire to the clutch coil, or simply a blown fuse. There are several ways A/C compressor clutches receive power. ... With engine running, you will want to set the A/C to MAX.
