No. The AC clutch will not engage if the freon is low. Or it may also be your low pressure switch is bad.

2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. Will the parts of a 1996 Pontiac Grand AM fit on a 2000 Grand Prix? They look identical.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Home Heating and Cooling.

What is the difference between Pontiac Grand Am and Grand Prix?

The main difference between the Grand Prix and Grand Am is that the Grand Prix has a plain body and automobile AC system. On the other hand, Gand am is a curved-bodied and manual AC featured vehicle. Both the automobiles have amazing features and are different from each other in several aspects.

The parts you mentioned should be fine.

2000 pontiac grand prix ac problem

If the compressor is working, a mechanic would check the low and high gauge pressure.
The freon has to flow thru the system to work, and the cooling fan draws air thru the condenser to get rid of the heat from inside the car.
If the ac clutch is working but the gauges show equal pressure, the compressor may be faulty.

My 96 grand prix's air conditioner compressor will not turn on when the switch is activated. I have replaced the large fuse under the hood but that still hasn't solved the problem. The indicator light on...

that light goes on mostly likely cause you need freon. the compressor will not go on if there is no freon. buy a userfriendly can at autozone. put it in low pressure valve(blue)  if it works but no cold enough air check under your hood for the proper pounds or ounces needed of freon.  if it doesnt work its your compressor.  GOOD LUCK! :)
