Default Changed thermostat, a/c quit. GRRRRR!

The only real connection that I can make is that while the left battery and tray were out, the the positive cable made a pretty good arc. Forgot to discon BOTH neg terminals.

At anything above an idle, the a/c cuts out. At idle, it works. Judging by how the ECTs went down when I moved the selector from AC to vent, the compressor was putting a load on things.

Fuses under the dash checked good. Any ideas will be GREATLY appreciated, I'm going to PHX, AZ Saturday and kinda need a/c.

Fan? What fan? I didn't unplug any fan. Regardless, the next day it was working as advertised on the way home from work, I have no clue what happened.
