AC question
It seems fairly straight forwarded, but just wanted to verify
My wife's AC was low of Freon, so I started adding some and when the level got high enough to engage the clutch, it WOULD not turn and would almost shut the engine down.
I'm assuming the compressor is locked up, but since I've never had one seize, I wanted to make sure before spending the $$$
Thanks

why bother with that complicated process? Just try to turn the front face of the clutch. You should be able to move it around without too much effort.
But there's really not much point since the compressor being seized is the only explanation for the pulley locking-up when the clutch engages.
