Compressor Clutch Problems?
Hello Everyone!
I'm hoping someone can give me some guidance. So...here's what happened. My radiator went out and I had this "guy" replace it. Ever since my a/c has not worked. The compressor clutch DOES turn so it is not seized. We did the relay testing and checked the fuses...those all work. Have not "jumped" it yet because I can't find anyone to do that for me.
I BELIEVE that when he replaced that radiator...he unplugged something or knocked something loose. It just seems to me to be too much of a coincidence that after he installs the radiator...the a/c poops out. It was working fine earlier that day.
A man here at work put the little tester thingy to the "plug/connector" that goes from the electric box to the compressor (bear with me...this is a girl talking to you and I don't know the correct terminology for some things) and got no amps at all...dead-or so one would assume. What could possibly be wrong...or, more importantly...how do I get electric to that compressor? (haven't checked the pressure gauges because the compressor isn't on/running...with the compressor OFF...they read 100 lbs on both sides). The A/C light inside the cabin comes on when you press it, but it only blows warm air...the heater works fine.
ANY guidance here (please and thank you) would be GREATLY appreciated!!

A high pressure cut out switch may have been left unplugged. Or he created a leak in the A/C system when he replaced the radiator.
