No I want the compresser to always be on. I talked to Joe some time ago and he bypassed it so it would lways come on.

y would you do that? in my chevy i had it on a toggle switch so that i could turn on ac on my feet or what ever position i choose, all you have to do though is on the side of the pump there is a two prong plug just fig out if you need a live 12 volts to top or bottom and youll be good just tap appropriate wire...

I have a bad HP switch, so I just have a jumper wire from one side to the other on the high side switch.

My AC pump is on, per the factory programing, in every setting but vent.

Thats how they are from the factory.

What are you trying to do?

I've got a/c in the system but that compresser won't stay on. I remember seeing yours but don't remember what it looks like. That's all

Get some pressure gauges, more then likely you have a pressure issue. Could also be the clutch is wore out, which will cause it to cycle...

But you can pick up a set of pressure gauges at Orielys...
