Ac ground issue
Hey guys, I think I'm having a ground issue with my relay and hoping someone can get me goin in a direction I need, so I'll try to explain my issue as best I can.
We put a new AC compressor on and a new pressure sensor. We did a vacuum on the lines and that was good. We put freon in to the levels required as well.
Now comes the issue. The compressor clutch will not engage. We tested the plug goin to the compressor and we haven volts there,we tested the sensor plug and it's got volts there.
We pull the relay fuse and it all hose power but isn't getting ground. The guy at work put a jumper wire on the fuse relay, #85 prong and ran that to the negative post on my battery and the clutch engaged and blew cold air but it won't disengage. And it starts building up high pressure to where it discharges freon. And that wire has caused me to not have no control over the air itself inside the cab. It just blows cold the whole time. I turn the AC off..and the clutch still stays engaged I'm guessing cuz of the jumper wire possibly being on the wrong prong on the relay?
Or could someone possibly tell me why I wouldn't be getting ground to the relay itself for the relay to work the clutch like it should anyways?

What are you driving?
If you jumper the ground pin of the compressor relay, yes, the compressor is going to run 100% of the time, which is BAD. You risk blowing the system apart with over-pressure.
Need to know what it is you drive to go further though. They way the systems worked changed a bit over time.
