Air Conditioning problem
1996 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Manual 197000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I replaced the compressor with a new one, accumlator/dryer, clutch cycling switch, the control switch on the dash, and it is still not kicking the compressor on. The compressor worked for about 2 hours blowing cold air, then it quit. You can get the compressor to kick on whenever you jump it at the clutch cycling switch connector that goes back the control switch. The fuses are all okay. Is there any relays that could be bad? What else can I do?

Thanks.

If it runs when you jump the cycling switch, you are low on R134a, fill the system.

Did you replace orfiace tube? If not crap from old comp. may have it cloged up stacking up all the 134a between comp and tube, not geting to acc. Also you sure evap is not leaking?
Merlin is right seems to be low refrig

when the compressor was replaced, the lines were checked to replace the old orfiace tube, couldn't find one to replace, but it does have one on the outside down by the compressor (cannister?), but I will check the R134a again, I hope that is what is wrong with it. Thanks
