My AC just went out yesterday. The fan blows but compressor is not kicking in. It seems to still have pressure. I attached an old bottle of freon to the low side with a gauge attached & it read read @ 60lbs. but since the compressor wont kick in I think the reading is not too accurate. Does anyone know where the plug is located that I can jump to kick in the compressor to test? I also noticed the condenser fan is not running, it is not getting power. I supplied power to the fan and it does work, just not getting power to it. Thank you in advance

 

that may be why compressor wont come on- fan isnt working and is required for that system
Ck relay for the fan, swap it with another of same color

beyond that--who are the AC gurus?

 

I just discovered the condensor fan fuse was blown. I swear I checked that one yesterday. What would cause this fuse to go?
Thanks

 

short in its wiring. loose wire, bad ground wire
fuses blow to protect from overvolts too

had the charging system tested this winter? parts stores do it for free
