2010 Camaro V6 AC Issues and narrowed down
Hello,
2010 Camaro LT 3.6L 6Cyl GAS LLT
Initial symptoms...no engine light codes...AC not blowing cold and AC clutch visually not engaging. AC pressure switch checked - good. Power to AC compressor, good to go. Freon levels all good no leaks. Checked AC relay and fuse all good to go. Removed AC relay cover and attempted to manually engage clutch by closing relay...AC clutch would not engage. Checked power to relay at pin 30 and fuse all good to go. Ran power line directly from fuse power side to AC Compressor...all worked fine. A connection from within the main fuse block determining something is not right. There is an open circuit from within the fuse block between the AC relay and AC fuse. "Fix"...as of now...replace fuse block. And hmmm...imagine that...discontinued part with GM P/N 92238272. I guess its E-Bay then lol. We will see I guess. I am and always have been a Chevy owner. I have owned Ford's and Dodges also in my time. Chevy has been the best all around for me. Its just sad that they are making people pay more for nothing imo. Just an ole' shade tree guy here. I will also say this...I going to die with my 2002 Chevy truck...repair and replace as needed. I wish I would have kept all my square bodies...but I don't really miss the old carb's.

The only way I was able to get the mag clutch to work was running direct power line to clutch. I was not getting power at pin 30 of the relay so another thought is that the ECM not sending signal to pin 30 for relay to operate and engage the mag clutch. Maybe bad ECM?

Pretty sure you checked the low-pressure sensor, so unfortunately it could be the ECM.

Yeah, the low pressure sensor checked fine. I have been talking with my son whom is a mech tech and he thinks it could be a fault in the fuse block also. I did mention what you were thinking to him. He still stands by that the fuse block is at fault between the AC relay and AC fuse. Not saying its a "wrong" solution to the silly puzzle. As I mentioned I am getting a used fuse block at a very reasonable price. I am going to do the swap and see if it does fix the issue. If it is successful I will dissect 
that old fuse block to see if I can trace and repair. Of course if it happens to be the ECM...well the obvious may have to happen. Junk the 2010 and get her a real Camaro...say late 60's early 70's, but with more ummpff...no v6.
