I hooked up my gauges to the high and low side. Essentially very little changed from when the car/AC was on vs off... pressure on both sides was about 115 psi. when running it marginally changed. high side was like 115, low side like 108... I think the compressor has DIED. it was good to me. Can someone please confirm.
Anyone have a good video about DIY compressor replacement. I never did it, but I have all of the parts (except the compressor) and all of the tools.

By pressing the AC switch on the controller you are certain the clutch engages? The aux fan is also coming on when you activate the AC button? Mine just had the clutch fail right at the start of the warm months.
I had to replace the entire compressor as the clutch alone is not an option. Also replaced the leaking lower coolant hose and thermo switch while it was apart.
