My ac compressor won't engage unless I bypass relay

 

I had bought freon thinking it was low (I didn't add any) but when I connected gauge it was in the red and I read on other post/threads that overcharged freon could cause compressor not to turn on but I wasn't sure if that was the case with mine any feedback would be great thanks in advance

 

I discharged freon (not completely)
While discharging freon high pressure port was damaged I managed to cap the port
I added freon to correct levels and I'm just bypassing relay until I can find real solution
I plan on vacuuming lines in order to change port

 

So O'Reillys doesn't loan or sell vacuum pumps. Autozone will lend/sell me on for $300 deposit and if I want it I just keep it although it's used from the other people that have borrowed it. Option #2 would be https://t.harborfreight.com/3-CFM-Tw...ump-61176.html

 

Option 1 from Autozone seems like a good choice. No long term cost. A cheaper option #3 would be dependent upon the availability of a good air compressor. I used this one and had no problems. https://www.harborfreight.com/air-va...ors-96677.html

 

Yeah I'm probably going to buy new compressor and condensor might as well replace the old ones since I'll be able to put it under a vacuum. Although it still doesn't solve my problem of having to bypass relay.
