Default ac not working

so I swapped the motor out in my durango and now the AC will not turn on. the clutch will lock in from what I can see.
any idea's of where I could have missed a wire or something?

Check relay in the PDC first and then check to ensure the connector at the compressor is firmly seated and not loose.

im assuming you managed to not open up the a/c system, but if you did it needs to be vaccumed down, and make sure it HOLDS vacum, before recharging w/ the correct refrigerant mass and correct amount of compressor oil

if the a/c clutch is engaging it SHOULD be getting cold unless you have a jammed blend door in the cabin, or a bad vacum line running into the firewall to control the doors.

if the compressor doesnt even engage my first check would be the relay for it, simplyswap it with one of the same number, if that doesnt do it i would have a shop hook up some gauges cause it sounds like its probably out of refrigerant.
