Thanks for the tip. You were right. If I connect my ammeter across the
clutch circuit and turn on the AC, it draws 2.5 A. If I connect the
clutch directly to the jumpstart post, it draws 3.4 A. Definitely looks
like a weak circuit.

I'll pull out the wiring diagram and start looking it over. Any tips on
hunting this gremlin down?
