Found the problem, the ac clutch looked burned, the rubber was melted in places. I could spin the compressor shaft and it felt fine, some load but nice and smooth. I disconnected the plug and confirmed that 12v was present at the plug with ac switch on and 0v when ac button off. 99 % sure it’s the clutch. Now to work out how to replace it

Yes, i pushed in the little check valve and a puff of gas came out.
Was thinking i'll check that the clutch gets a 12V signal, if it does, then the clutch must be stuffed. If not, something is stopping the 12v signal (ie relay fault, low gas etc).

My wife’s Mazda tribute 2.3 ac stopped working. I noticed the pulley on the front of the compressor free spins with ac off, but when ac on there is no change. Should the entire front part of the pulley start turning (ie all the black part in the photo)

I concur. Had a meeting with their rep for Oz at the end of last year. They are very good at that game.
