My ac has never worked so I tested the pressures. 0! so I found the accumulator leaking and replaced it. I evacuated the system and began filling it but the compressor will not engage. If I disconnect the compressor plug on the supply side I have 0 volts between the pins but 13 v from one pin to the frame/ground. I am guessing there is a loop through the compressor to the high pressure and low pressure switches. Am I right or is there some logic board involved. I am guessing the low pressure is in the accumulator should it be closed with pressure? The high pressure is right off the compressor should it be closed during normal operation? Basically can I paper clip the switches to diagnose?
