Default 92 ac dead.

I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a little while. I'm getting no power to the clutch. No code 09 so it's not low. I don't have a manual yet so I don't know the procedure to check out the elctrical system. Figure I would give it a shot before sending it to the shop. Any help appreciated.

I'm not suggesting that this will fix it but it is worth a try. I recently had a problem on my 95 with the electronic climate option. When hitting the "auto" button after the car had not been used for a time (overnight or at the end of the day after driving to work), it would take anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes for the a/c compressor to kick in. Once it did it worked perfectly. No codes whatsoever on the a/c diagnostics. My local mechanic suggested it was the a/c programmer (located to the left of your brake pedal but very difficult to access). On a whim, I looked in the fuse box and found the #1 fuse was labeled a/c module. With the ignition off, I removed this, waited a few minutes, then reinstalled it. Since then the a/c has been working perfectly all the time.
