See if you have continuity across the clutch windings.

OK. I got to the electrical connection at the clutch windings. They are OPEN. Control voltage to the windings with the panel showing OFF is @6.5-7.0 volts. With panel ON, voltage goes to 13.5.
So here's my proposed plan of attack and please critique anything you find unnecessary. I plan on:
1) Buying a new clutch and installing it. I figure I can keep the shaft from rotating via a strap wrench. The bolt in the center of the clutch looks to be @10-12mm so I figure it's not on that tight.
2) Since the radiator has to come out for optimum visibilty and working ease I'm also considering replacing the waterpump and thermostat/thermostat housing as preventive maintenance. Car has 91500 miles.
Comments PLEASE!
