Default A/C

Anyone know how to jump the A/C condenser to turn on? I just want to check if it is working? My A/C is not working... trying to troubleshoot.

you mean the a/c compressor.Not sure would have to take a look at my wiring diagrams and let you know possibly tomorrow for sure.Just a quick question.Is the a/c head stuck in econ mode???even if you turn off it comes back on??If that's the case the system is low on freon or has no freon in it there fore will not let the compressor turn on to prevent from damaging it because freon and pag oil are used in the a/c system to lube the compressor. It is possible that the compressor is no good as i have seen the clutches on them fail as they are electric.

Hope this helps.

No, everything looks as if its working... When I turn on the A/C, the clutch doesn't engage... Just trying to see if I can override it and see if it is actually working. I'm thinking it can be a pressure sensor on the system or a sensor itself.

never seen one of those sensors fail to be quite honest is it possible yes but highly unlikely.make sure you have freon in the system and you have no leaks.
