Question? Are these trucks supposed to have 2 orifice tubes?? One on the condenser right before it connects to the high side line with the service port then another one under the air filter box? I never heard of a vehicle having 2. The only one I have in is the the line under the air filter box.

If you have the wiring diagram, can you post it up?

Ok, it started working again....

If you have power across the pressure switches, see if you are getting a ground from the PCM for the A/C compressor relay.

Check fuse 7, and fuse 6 in the PDC as well.
