Dean,
I disconnected the most obvious socket - a round-end lead,with a sqeeze clip that leads from the compressor and is mounted to the front wall of the engine bay, on the passenger side of the radiator.
Power from the + batt term tripped the clutch (sounded like a slightly amplified starter solenoid?). I then started the engine, with the air on, and tested for power with a voltometer. It read 14-14.1 DCV.
Also, with the engine running, I cycled the A/C from "auto" to "off". I could hear the compressor kick, accompanied simultaneously by a woosh, similar to disconnecting an air compressor hose.
Where to go from here? Also, does the total discharge of the system indicate a leak, or is it not totally out of the ordinary for a car with 170,000 miles on it, which has (probably) never had the air serviced in any way?
Thanks for the assistance, Dean. I appreciate it greatly.
jesse
