AC - 95 SL2 Not functioning

[ralfie]

I have a 95 SL2, that has been running great. The AC just quit running, had it serviced last summer and it ran fine.

This spring I turned it on and no cold air.

Checked the fuses, and even rotated the relays (all 3 the same on this model) no change. I jumped the clutch from the battry and it ran...I'm thinking the only thing left is a short in the wire someplace and I'm not looking forward to tracing the wire bundle and taking the front end apart...anyone have this problem and got it resolved?

No need to check any wiring issue as you're looking in all the wrong places. You have a LEAK that won't get fixed by annual recharges. Find the source of the leak and decide if you can do the mechanical repairs and/or leave this to a pro. To fond the source of the leak; http://www.saturnfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80107

Hey thanks bro, I looked in the Haynes manual and it suggested that it was more than just a wiring problem, but I got tired of troubleshooting...

Yes as fdryer said you most likely have a leak. The compressor has a built in safety switch that will not allow the A/C clutch to engage if it detects too low a pressure otherwise the compressor could be damaged.
