2002 Explorer AC CLutch will not engage

[F15E_WSO]

First post so hope I am not stepping on etiquette...
I am overseas and limited repair and parts here. Clutch will not engage, checked diode in power distr box (good). Checked pressure switch and it has 12-14volts. Pulled plug on clutch and it has volts....
Ideas? No visible leaks in AC system, is there a sight glass on cars anymore?
THanks

No sight glasses are a thing of the past. You need to hook up a guage set and check your pressures. I am guessing you are just low on refrigerant and the low pressure cutout switch is preventing it from engaging. Remember on AC the oil is carried in the refrigerant. No refrigerant = no lubrication = fried compressor.
