Please don't kill the newbie as I've been searching for the right thread for advice but where should I start w/ identifying the failed parts for AC. The mrs. and boys will certainly appreciate the proactive thinking to repair in springtime. How do I rule out if it's the condenser, evaporator, fan clutch, etc? She's a 96 FZJ80 w/ about 159k-the ac was no func. when I got it but never got it tested to id the problem before I took it. I don't like going willy nilly replacing things that might be good. Really would appreciate some guidance or at least pointing to the best thread on this before I go cross-eyed looking-powdahbonz
