97 XJ AC issues
I have a 97 XJ with the 4.0, I have replaced the AC compressor and went to my HVAC guy to have him charge it with 134a. Now the problem is that I can't get the clutch on the thing to activate unless we bypass the relay and send 12 volts to it. Doing that It blows cold and functions perfectly. However if I try and plug in the AC relay nothing happens. Checked the relay it seems to work as intended (bought a new one and checked both with a meter while connected to power). When I go to plug the relay in with the AC turned on in the car if I do it in the right spot it will engage the clutch for less than a second and then disengage. It will not do this again unless I pull the relay out and try to put it back in the socket. I can't seem to find anything on the forums but would really appreciate any help with it being in the 90s this week here.
P.S. I can hear and feel the relays click when inserting them with the AC on.
