Default A/C trouble

So, I just got back from the auto shop where I had them service my A/C system but I still have no cold air. They thought the compressor might be bad but they weren't sure. They did not find any leaks and they recharged the system, the clutch on the compressor engages but they were saying it was supposed to be cycling but it wasent. Not sure where to go from here or what to check.

What year? My old 92 had a similar symptom, it was the valve that cuts off the hot water. The AC was actually working just fine, just couldn't tell because it was basically running the heat and the AC at the same time.

Felt like it was just blowing ambient outside air. "Fixed" the valve with a ziptie and had ice cold AC, lol.

Its a 2000. Where is the valve? The AC lines are getting cold so I would think that the compressor is not the issue.

Blend door stuck? The 97+ XJs don't have a heater control valve.

Should just be a two-wire connection. Match power to power and ground to ground.

If there's a plug, reuse it. If not, I'd get a weather-resistant two-pin plug so they can be remove in the future without cutting the wires.

They should be able to tell from the system pressures whether the compressor is good or not. Either it is pumping or it isn't.

Hey guys, Anybody on here who lives in Jacksonville,FL that would be interested in visiting Ace Pick-a-part and grab something for me? It would be easy money for somebody.

Hit me with a PM if you're interested.

Actually, It could be anybody anywhere for that matter. I'm looking for the inner fender splash seals in good condition, or at the very least, an outline of one on some craft paper. This is what they look like (same for both sides I believe)

They should be from an 88-90




I'll make it worth your while.

Also, would you guys suspect that an ignition switch is failing, if the blinkers, radio, and dome light intermittently cut out. Radio volume just lowers at random times, front dome light works some of the time, and my right blinker only works sometimes. At one point on a crappy, cold, snowy day the radio cut out for a sec, and the wipers stopped working.

I've dug in the engine bay, refreshed grounds, but can't find anything loose, broken, missing, etc.
I always thought the click was the headlights shutting off. They are not daytime running lights but I guess they are designed to get you to the house with a little light, then shut off.
