hello to all i need a little help with my a/c!!
system is charged ,i have the gauge connected to the port behind the fans and it is in the blue which means it is charged, turn on the ac and the compressor does not kick in the relay and fuses are fine is there a pressure switch or control switch anywhere , i dont see anything except the plug that goes into the compressor any ideas???

There is indeed a pressure switch in the A/C system. I have a link to where it is on this page (http://www.my-chevy-venture.com/other-information.html) (about half way through the table). This is for a 2001 - I don't know what year yours is.

The sensor sends a signal to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and then the PCM decides if it should turn on the AC compressor clutch (through a relay).
So if the sensor is bad, the clutch relay is bad, or any of the wiring between the components is bad, that could cause the problem.
Before replacing the sensor, I would do a little more testing to verify where the problem is.
As for parts (and part numbers), you can go to rockauto.com and find them there.
I am not sure what you mean by "regulator on the driver side" so I don't have any advise there.

4)orifice tube
5)radiator flush
6)vaccum and recharge both systems
total $975
way more than i expected but these guys were recomended by my parts guy
