AC compressor not getting power to engage.


Recommended Posts

I have an 87 2.5 2 wheel drive that I can't get the ac compressor to come on with the a/c control lever.  Blower works fine and if I add 12 volts directly to the single wire that comes off the compressor, it engages.  any thoughts on where I'm losing the 12 volts in the normal circuit?

Are you sure you’re losing voltage? Has the system been charged recently? 
The system has a pressure switch that will let the 12v through to power the relay to engage the clutch. If the system has no pressure, it won’t pass the voltage on.
