Default AC will not work

I have a 1990, and the AC will not work, I have checked the fuses, the freon, the low pres cut off switch. at the LPCS I do not have 12VDC, if you put 12V to the connector the comp will run and blow cold air. So
where does the 12V come from? ,and why do you think I don't have it.
Thanks for your help

There is a green wire that comes from the relay that goes to the pressure switch.



Check and see if you are getting 12 volts to the pressure switch. If you are then you are fine from that point back.

The switch might be bad.



If you are not getting 12 volts to the switch you will have to work your way back.

never mind I just reread your post.

The green wire goes to the relay if I remember right. Mine was cut. repaired it and it was fine.


You will need to check and see if you have 12 volts to the relay.
