I just did an Eatc swap last week. Had a problem with the blower speed controller . I fixed this last night. From day 1 my compressor has not been engaging. I tested for power behind the Eatc and through all the cutouts. And I have good pressure. The ac worked before the swap. Compressor is in good shap so what gives?
 






Donor unit is a 98
 






fuses are all good. the relay was clicking on and off on and off. put in another i had laying around, same thing, another, same thing. if i jumper out the center of the plug and the one closest to the fender the clutch engages and i have ice cold air (aaaahhhhhh). i don't know what to do with this thing. other than jumper out the plug and put a switch in place. when the ac unit is off the compressor continues to run. i hate to rig this cause well, i just don't want to do it.
