A couple of days ago I posted about my AC thermostat--no takers, sniff.

Using the search, Luke, I find exactly zero hits for "AC thermostat" though of course there are a bazillion for the coolant thermostat.

Hard to believe these never go bad but then why no posts?

Pic for reference is on Bentley 87.6, 87-904a.

AC gurus you out there?

Everything can go bad. AC thermostats do go bad from time to time. You don't specify the year or type of air, but you need a good wiring diagram and start tracing from either end. You don't specify the problem, but I am assuming you have no power at the compressor clutch with the engine on? You can bypass the thermostat with a jumper wire to see it the clutch engages. A little more info might yield more replies. This will bump your post.
