A/C has me stumped
the ac is pulling me through a loop right now
The jeep in question is my 2001 4.0 auto
the e-fan is new and works when jumped but wont turn on otherwise, the compressor works when i jump the low pressure switch (but the e-fan doesn't turn on), the charge is good, and the fuses and relays have been switched out. am i missing something? lol

The compressor isn't coming on unless i jump it, when i turn the ac or defrost on it just blows lukewarm air through the vents. I havent had the jeep get above 210 even without the e-fan.

I believe '00-'01 efans "turn on" based upon a/c "high side" pressure readings. So, if there's not enough a/c "high side" pressure, the efan will not turn on, unless coolant temp reaches 218F.
'99 down efans "turn on" when the a/c clutch engages regardless of a/c pressure.

Would refilling it via the low side port work and get the compressor to cycle or would i have to jump it off to get the pressure equalized before it'd run?
