AC compressor wont kick on..

Can you guys help me out with this please? I am working on a 72 Cheyenne super with factory air. My AC compressor will not kick on. Fan switch works fine on all speeds. Air blows strong from the vents. Can you please tell me what actually signals the compressor to turn on? I tried moving the top lever to AIR but still nothing. Thanks for the help.

I jumped the low pressure switch and it came on. I guess its low.

Thumbs up Re: AC compressor wont kick on..

There is a plunger switch behind the duct work right before the floor vent. If it's not pushed in it want come on. This is what makes the compressor kick on per the system. So if you jumped the LP switch out and it ran then it's working. Don't run it long with that switch jumped.
This is the factory manual drawing of the wiring.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
