First and foremost thanks to prime for the wealth of information posted here. Got my A\C working again, with a knowledge assistant. Went into compressor to replace clutch (easier than i thought only slight blunder was the engine mount bolt on the crossmember, which i trying to remove from the wrong side   it helps to have a droplight) After replacing the clutch (those snap rings can be a pain, without the correct kind of snapring pliers) and hanging the compressor back on the mount, clutch still won't engage. By the way i cleaned the clutch cover and the other plate like thingy, which were rusted on the inside. That may have solved my problem, since both old and new clutch would magnetize when hooked to a battery. I also removed and lightly cleaned connector on what must be a selenoid on the high pressure line( the connector next to the small charging port on a 96). So after getting really frustrated (was thinking of the money i would have to pay honda to fix the problem:biggrin: ). anyway after checking almost everything again, my knowledgeable assistant decided to lightly tap on the clutch cover while i hit the A\C button on and off, and what do  you know my A\C started working. I'm not sure what solved the problem. so in closing i would like to ask if anyone has had a similar problem and knows what it may have been. Thanks prime.
