2002 Mercedes ML350 (W163)
A/C Compressor Not Engaging

2002 Mercedes ML-350 with single climate control (No LCD Display)

Replaced AC Compressor, Temperature/Pressure Switch, expansion valve and added correct amount of freon using a professional RRR Machine.

1) The compressor is a constant compressor and does not indicate being on/off just by looking at it.

2) Compressor is not working unless I hot wire it to come on. When hot wired it works great and gets real cold, but the pressures are definitely not normal. Checked fuses and relays, but at a loss.....

Static H-120 / L-120
On (Bypassed) L- Turns to 125-130!!

Please Help!!! Genisis EVO Code reader is coming back with a bad compressor code and am able to clear it..... But it keeps coming back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ML350s weren't born until 2003. Your 350 was probably built in the latter part of 2002, but it is still a 2003.
