I was running the A/C to keep the juices flowing, during winter, to keep the seals and rings from drying up. I know I'm low on freon, since the sight glass shows a foamy bubble stream and the clutch will not engage. I was told to jump start the compressor by jumping the connection at the receiver dryer. OK, so how do you do that? When looking down from the passenger fender the connection, low pressure shutoff, is on the left side near the top. 89 900s. If I take a good heavy gauge wire, bare both ends, and run it from the + on battery to low pressure switch, touching both terminals, is that what "jumping" is? Even without the clutch engaged on the compressor, 10 minutes running, on a scale of 1 to 10...10 being coldest, the "cooling" is about 4. Please advise on jumping. Thanks Dave
