My compressor won't engage.
Seems like no signal (+12V) comes to the pressure switch. Is there some known issue? I can force the clutch to engage if I remove the relay and use a wire there. The system is filled with R134.

"filled with r134": what is the pressure on the low side?

After i feed the blue wire at pressure switch it engages when I put the socket back on pressure switch, no clue why this worked.
But it don't blow so cold air. The pipes are ice cold in the engine bay.

Has to be a blend door issue under the dash. Turn up the heat slowly and then down and see what happens...

I'd still start with checking the pressures. How long does the compressor stay on when cycling? A few seconds? Or, 30 seconds or more?

Around 15 seconds.. The pressure is 45psi and goes down to 25 when compressor is running then up again.

I can hear the blend door motor running but can't see anything when looking. How much do I have to tear apart.? The plastic under glove box?
