Clutch will not engage. I’m extremely low on Freon and suspect that’s the cause. Until today the belt and pulley would still spin with the A/C on. Now it’ll only spin when A/C is off. The pulley and clutch can spin by hand. Not sure what would cause the pulley to do this.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Low Freon levels will prevent the compressor from engaging. However, I'm not sure I understand what is now happening. Do you mean when the AC is on, the pulley stops turning as well as the belt?

Here are a few links you may find helpful. However, let me know exactly what is happening at this time.

Let me know.

Take care,
