    aircon compressor clutch

    its not coming on when I press the aircon switch, all the fuses are ok, aircon fan in front of radiator comes on, can someone please confirm for me the orientation of the wire colours on the switches under the coolant thermostat.
    I noticed the other day, the top aircon hose going into the back of the compressor was slightly loose so did it up but am wondering if gas managed to escape and theres not enough pressure to get it started? help please its gonna start getting hot here in the pilbara, system has always worked excellent with maximum coldness
    thanks

    if you've lost the gas the LP cutout switch is stopping it from coming on.

    thought as much, how loose would the pipe on the back of the compressor need to be to loose gas from the system?

    half a turn on the plate mounting nut can be enough and if its a taper seal as little as 1/4 of a turn can loose you the gas.
