    clutch is new , and high pressure sensor is new. gas is new refilled. and no electric coming to cluch socket .

     

    aircon mechanist say that sensors are ok. and gas is ok. 

     

    i thing there is something that is effected from sun(hot weather) 

     

    is it be any cable ? or any other sensor? or connection socket ?

    A new clutch requires to have the gap adjusted with shims. If the gap is too large, the clutch wont engage in hot weather.

    If there is no power, try bridging the air con relay.
