Tarago 2006 air conditioning compressor clutch not engaging

[sanu kee]

Hi fellow,

I have a Tarago 2006 which I bought 2 years ago from a dealer. One sunny day when I turned on the air con, it made a strange hissing sound and then stopped blowing cold air. When I turn on the a/c, the car can sense it, the condenser fan turns on, the vent blowers work but the compressor clutch does not engage. I called a mechanic who said that some cars have a sensor that stops the clutch to engage if the gas is low. 

Thoughts?

Thanks

So I took it to an air con guy who said that gas level is ok and suspects some issue with the signal or a component of the compressor that receives the signal and turns it on.

Take it to auto electrician and they can put sone shims on the compressor clutch to make it re engage....cost around $200.
