AC not working
My AC compressor isn't engaging. I've checked the fuses and relays in the engine bay. Anything else I should check before I take it for service on Monday?

Had it checked today. Refrigerant is fine. no power is reaching the compressor. I'll take a look around the SJB, it's been raining like crazy around here due to the stupid hurricane. I just hope water didn't get inside.

I dont think ambient temp or high side pressure would be relivent . Do to the compressor not being on. Im not sure of all the components involved on a car a,/c so a schematic would be nice. I think your on the right track tho, either your switch or one of the pressure switches could be opening the circuit when it shouldnt. Also wiring and connections are as problematic as anything else.

Ok, so basically I don't know what happened. A/C just started working again this afternoon. Not that I'm complaining, but I'd still like to know what was wrong with it.
My only theory is that it's related to the massive amount of rain we had last week courtesy of everyone's favorite hurricane, Sandy. Now I need to fix the horn because one apparently has water in it.

OP: Either invest in an A/C Manifold guage set and learn a little about troubleshooting automotive A/C or take it to a shop. Don't just start throwing parts at it.
