hi!
i have scanned through many a AC posts and have not been able to come up with a solution.
situation :
when I swapped out my transmission a few months back. i also did the heater core, and a few other things. My AC has never worked since. the compressor is not kicking on.
I figured i may have moved one of the lines too far and sprung a leak., and lost all of the R22 refrigerant. i hooked up gauges and quickly realized that while trying to add more R22 that it would not accept any. i "accidentally" opened a valve on the AC gauges and freon a blast of sweet smelling gas came out....i'm guessing that is R22 refrigerant. also im guessing that the gauges are worthless if the compressor is not kicking on.
i bypassed the frost switch and the trinary switch and the compressor still is not kicking on . I thought i heard the relay behind the speedo cluster click, when I turned the key to the run position, but now im not sure if that is a clicking noise or not.
.there is no voltage at the wire connecting to the compressor with the key in the on position and the AC turned on, but when I apply 12 volts directly to the compressor the clutch does indeed engage.
....so does bypassing the frost switch and the trinary switch eliminate the possibility that those two as the cause for no voltage to compressor?
is there anything else I can do before taking the speedo cluster off to mess with relay, and why would anything I had done while doing heater core affect the relay?
