Default Shorted ac switch

On 98 vette I was trying to get ac clutch to engage and when I jumped the pressure switch I lost fuel guage,oil sending unit and now my fans run continously. Any ideas on what happened and how to correct.

Throw your scanner in the sock draw. Please pull your DIC codes. In the interim I will look at the circuit you jumpered.

What color wires did you jumper together. There are 3 there. Red/Black, Grey, and Black.

Here is the schematic. It would seem you put 12 volts or more into the low reference circuit. That would seem to be a bad thing for the PCM.

Please post the link to where you got this info.




PS: Was the pressure sensor disconnected when you did this?
