Default No Ac!!!

2000 corvette base

I have no Ac and my heater works but only on the max setting. I got the ac compressor to kick on by jumping it with a paper clip but it doesnt seem to work with the fuse plugged in. I tried swapping the fuse out with a diff fuse in the car and still nothin. Maybe both fuses were bad??

If the AC is really low on Freon it will not turn on.

Without some basic electrical knowledge like how to check a fuse and a set on manifold gauges you'll only be guessing...AC work is best left to a professional...AC work is not for the DIY'er !!

Check the ground on the passenger side frame rail just behind the headlight, the plug comes apart and it has prongs in there that get corroded, start there.
