Ok new problem. Charged up a/c and turned it on for first time... Pop ac compressor turns of so did blower in the cab. Checked the relays under the hood and the fuses under the dash. Nothing blown. But now I cannot get the heater fan to turn on at all not on hot or cold. Fan just will not come on. Anyone have a list of things to check? Before it is said I replaced the ac drier, lines, condenser, and pressure switch before I started to try and get the ac to work to begin with.

Would this be on your '87 or your '94? Go through with a multimeter and make sure everything is getting power, none of the connectors pulled loose or fell apart, etc. Make sure the switches and whatnot in the control panel are all working right.

Compressor was functioning to draw in the charge or ? Did it fail at the same time as the blower motor?

Those that don't like adventure, should be driving a Prius.

Lol I love my jeep and will probably never stop messing with it. But it is my 94 the 87 is scrap in the back yard. Fan worked before and stopped working when compressor died. It was like the whole system shut down. Computer was throwing ac clutch relay code so at first I thought it was just the relay burned out but I checked all the fuses and relays.
