AC problem

I have a GD3 with a possible AC problem. The cabin blower works but when the AC switch is engaged the AC clutch doesn't activate. I've repaved both in cabin and under hood fuse. Any other suggestions?

You mean you "replaced' the fuses, right? Take the car to an A/C service shop (there must be MANY in Las Vegas). It sounds like the compressor is not working. Maybe you had a leak in the system, and the refrigerant gas and lubricating oil leaked out causing the compressor to lock up. I will bet that the compressor fuse is blown again.

Our '07 needed the dash AC switch replaced under warranty....

Time to get the VOM meter, out if you want to check it out yourself.

I replaced the under hood and in-dash fuse, but still no response from the compressor.
