i dont know what you mean by that or not…but you can check if the clutch engages…by putting power to the plug and grounding the compressor. see if that clutch engage…if it does then im assuming it working? or plug the 2 holes with your finger and turn the clutch plate…if you feel pressure its another plus lol. im giving you a somewhat of a idea.
