Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Forced Induction A/C not working after Vortech install!

Hey guys,

After installing my s/c a few weeks ago my A/C no longer works. The compressor won't even turn on. I've checked all the fuses and breakers and took everything apart to make sure it was re-connected. It was working fine before the install and had little or no trouble putting everything back together. Heat works fine. I'm getting aliitle nervous b/c the weather is starting to warm up and I'll definately be needing my A/C. If anyone has the wiring schematic for the HVAC your assistence would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Courtney

Worst case scenario, one of the hard A/C lines on the compressor manifold was damaged while modifying their location. Best case scenario, the one electrical connector that attaches to the compressor may be faulty. I know of the latter one because that is what happened to my A/C.

When My S/C was installed they accidently released all the freon, mabey thats what happened.

IIRC, there has to be some pressure on the system before the compressor will kick in. If you damaged a line and the sytem depressurized the compressor won't kick in unless jumper wired. I'd say run it to an A/C tech and have them diagnose it. Double check to make sure you got the plug back in first though as I left it off the first time around and it was a PITA to get on.
