how to jump the ac compressor
Is there a way to jump the ac compressor other than plugging 12v into the unit itself. I cant reach inside to get to the wire.
I have no idea why the compressor wont start. the red ac light stays lit now on the climatronic. coolant temp sensor is working, tried the reset/recalibrate thing with the control panel. I checked the pressure is 80-100psi on the low side depending on temperature. maybe I have a failed pressure sesnsor but i have no idea how to test that.

Out Of Control!!
If you correctly connected the gages the high side(with no problems) should be 240+ and the low side 30---sounds like you need to read more before putting gages on!!

You are absolutely wrong! those are the pressures when the compressor is RUNNING! if you read the above post again a few times you will see this is a compressor that will not start. If I had the pressure are describing I would have a working ac.
