What/where do I look for to get power to the compressor clutch connector? I have an old 95 S10 blazer which is not getting power to the clutch and of course the compressor won't spin. My daughter can't stand the heat already here in Georgia.

Is there an inline fuse somewhere dedicated to the compressor? All the fuses are good in the fuse box. It was spinning happily last fall. Any help is appreciated, as I am air condotioning impaired. thanks, OLDED

There's probably a fuse, but there is probably a low pressure cut-out switch also, and maybe a high pressure one as well. If you've lost the charge due to leakage, the low press cut-out switch will prevent the compressor from running. The lubricant is carried by the refrigerant and: no refrigerant...no pressure...no compressing...no ruined compressor due to lack of lubrication. You'll probably get some suggestions here, but pressures will need to be checked with the gauges set.
