New to forum having ac problems

[Mavric205]

I have a 2013 explorer blowing warm air checked the clutch. not engaging. placed the manifold on and getting a reading of 120 low side and normal on high thinking possible blockage. i think the expansion valve is at the firewall but have no idle where the orifice tube is located at. am i thinking this wrong about blockage. need some help here

The pressures will equal out when system isn't working, hence the reason the low side seems high. Good thing is you have no leak. Your problem lies in a pressure switch, control or compressor clutch itself. Have you checked the clutch for power while it's set to a/c and running?

Welcome to the Forum.
First thing to do is check the fuse. Have you done that? Fuse #62 (10 A) is for the A/C clutch. If that is blown then there isn't much sense in checking anything else until it is replaced.

Probably your compressor. If your just a back yard mechanic or not, I would take it to get checked. Hope this helps

Welcome to the Forum Randy.
Better check the fuse first.
