  1. That clicking noise does not sound good. The part you are turning is the clutch and it mounts on a splined shaft to run the compressor. It sounds like the splines are worn or something is loose inside the compressor. The pulley runs on a bearing and should not wobble. There is a coil mounted inside the pully that when voltage is applied will pull the clutch in and make contact with a flat surface on the front of the pulley. With the fuse being blown, that coil may be shorted. If the system is low on Freon there is a pressure switch that will not allow voltage to get to the coil for the clutch. I would replace the compressor and add a little of the proper PAG oil, pump the system to a vacuum and then charge the system with Freon. When you start adding Freon the pressure switch will activate and the clutch will pull in and run the compressor.
