a/c compressor not working

my compressor stopped working when i unhooked everything on my engine, i unhooked vacuum hoses,wires,gas line, freon

before doing this my compressor used to work fine whenever the a/c was
turned on, a piece of the compressor came out a little bit and blew cold air
now that everything is hooked up it doesnt come out anymore when i turn the a/c on
maybe because it needs freon??


only found a set of wires that are connected to the compressor
anyone has any diagrams or maybe a wire is dicconnected?

becausw theres a wire that i cannot find where it goes its a green wire its beside the brale booster coming from the harness

Re: a/c compressor not working

The compressor is wired in series. Low pressure switch -> Hi pressure switch -> Compressor. Did you check the fuse? Stick a wire in at the low pressure switch. With the A/C on, it should kick on. If it does not, check for power the low pressure switch.
