Re: a/c compressor not switching on

Too much pressure in the system will lock out the compressor. There is a pressure switch on the dryer (up near or on the firewall) that won't allow the compressor to kick on if too high or too low. IF you jump the compressor, bypass the switch, it will turn on. If your freon pressure is good, then the switch may be bad.
