To check out the control signals, look at wire going into the 'clear / natural / no color' plug at the VCM {computer}

Pin 1 {Dark Grn/white stripe} should be ground if heater control and ACcum cycling sw and hi-press cutout allow and call for compressor

Capt. Hook: When rechecking everything per post #2, we found that bypassing the low pressure switch DID kick in the compressor (we must have had a bad jumper when we tried earlier). Freon added. Pressure switch works too after freon. Crossing our fingers the leak was very small.

Thanks for the help!

Happy Easter! He is Risen!
