I discharged the system when I istalled the motor a couple years ago, so I wanted to charge it. I used one of the vacuum pumps from Harbor Freight ($17...worked great) and evacuated the system. I hooked the gauges up and dropped in 2 cans, took the system up to 50 PSI (low side). I thought the compressor would click on but no go. I dropped in another .25 of a can the system climbed to 65. still nothing. I jumped the low pressure switch...nothing. I verified power to LPS ...good....I checked the relay and I had power to the pink and blk but thats all. (Point of note. I have the bypass for fan from caspers and I no longer use the factory fan I have the Ramchagers dual with kit from Caspers and the field fix for alternator also). I checked the high pressure switch and I have power to the center wire. I have no power to the plug on the front of the compressor. I unplugged the other (round) terminal and no power, I jumped the plug no change.
I sent power directly to the front of the compressor and grounded the other side, compressor turned on low side pulled down to 20 psi high side rose to 150 ish.
So I'm still stuck, no power getting to the compressor. Any ideas?
