    Hey all-

    I have a 2013 TRD and have been having some issues with the AC.
    There's a lot of good information on here for AC related issues that i've been following, however im not sure what step to take next.

    A few weeks ago, on a road trip my AC abruptly cut out while in use. This has happened previously and was caused by the blower resistor when I first got the truck. I thought it was the same thing, or maybe one of the wires came loose. I changed it with OEM rather than aftermarket when I got back and still no AC.

    My AC light never has blinked but i checked the fuses/relay and all good but then noticed the compressor clutch wasn't spinning while the truck was on and AC full blast. I tested the compressor with 12 volts and the magnet did not engage. So, I went about replacing the clutch. Turned the truck on and still no AC.

    Wondering what it could be or what i should be looking at next? Any help would be appreciated.

    To be clear you have airflow out of the vents but no compressor operation correct?

    Need to hook gauges up and see if there's any refrigerant in the system.
