    2013 328I Ac Compressor Clutch Not Engaging

    I am trying to troubleshoot an Air Conditioning problem on a '13 328I. When I put the AC on max and blower on full, fan runs, idle increases, and everything seems to work fine except compressor clutch does not engage. There is a wire harness on the compressor with 2 white wires and a brown wire. Can't find anything on what each wire is and which ones provide power to engage the clutch. Any suggestions on how to manually test the clutch.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    I am going to assume that your A/C isn't working here. So with that thought in mind, have you gotten the car checked at an A/C specialist to see if the charge is low?
