a/c clutch out?

[snake109]

Hey long time no post. Well i was driving my car 180 miles and the a/c would get warm, then cold, then warm. when i parked it the a/c wouldnt even work, the compressor clutch wont engage, but the fan kicks on. there is 13.5v and a good ground at the clutch connector and no continuity between the 2 pins on the compressor clutch. can i assume the clutch coil is open? and how can i repair it, is there just a clutch kit avalible? thanks

Yes you can just purchase the clutch from an auto parts store. They aren't hard to replace. I think you'll need snap ring pliers IIRC.
