How would I properly do that? And how would I tell if it’s the switch or the Freon? And why didn’t I have battery voltage there? Is it referring to the switch on the climate controls or something else?

I jumped the plug that goes on the drier by the vacuum reservoir. The clutch engaged. I’ll have to go buy a feeler gauge I don’t think I have one.
|
So that tells me either the switch is bad (unlikely) or you're low/out of refrigerant...you have to put gauges on it to tell if it's the latter.

When you mentioned the accumulator is that the large round black cylinder thing with two pipes coming out of it ?
thanks |

I'm just trying to verify that's what the OP did.

R-12 systems only have a low pressure switch so that is the only one he could have jumped

I’ve been thinking about it. I noticed the plug on top of the ac compressor the clip is broken. It made me thing is there any sort of wiring that’s screwed up I can check that will cause it to not turn on?
Is there a loaner gauge for r12 ac systems so I can check the pressure? |

Just for kicks check the clearance of the clutch halves air gap.

Ok, ill loan some of those. And do I connect it to the low side which I think is the blue cap on the Ac dryer. And the high side the black cap next to radiator and radiator reservoir? Or is the high and low side something else?

Is there a loaner gauge for r12 ac systems so I can check the pressure? Also, are you certain it still uses R-12? I know it’s not impossible but it seems unlikely that a 35 year old truck hasn’t had any AC service. Do not rely on the under hood label for the type of refrigerant it’s using - the system could’ve been converted and a new label was never applied. If you’re unsure, post a picture of the high and low side service valves - it’s easy to tell if the conversion has been done by the valves. |
