Question AC Question

When I turn my A/C on the compressor will not kick in. If you short it out it comes on. I put a few cans of r134-a in it along with some leak sealer.

Any thoughts? I read in another post something about replacing the low pressure switch. Should I and where is it located?

Thx!

Your compressor is controlled by the relay which is in turn controlled by your ECM. Check to see if the relay is getting power and that it works

IIRC, there's a A/C fuse in that black box under the hood on the passenger side. Not sure which one but I think they're labeled.
