I bought a 1990 Cherokee and was told the AC did not work. I put a can of R134 in (it has been converted) and hot wired the compressor and it cooled great. Is there a fuse or relay that might be causing the compressor to not engage? I don't have a owner manual.

1990 is Renix, 1992 would be H/O, so there will be some discrepencies there...
I know there's a pressure switch that will keep the compressor from coming on if the coolant level is low. Are you sure your one can was enough to fill it all the way? No idea myself...

you have to put gauges on it. no way that one can enough if system was low. the low pressure cut out switch is on the big line on the passenger side. you can test it by unplugging it and put a jumper wire in it, the plug. that will tell you if its just a fuse or still maybe low on chargeRomans 7-8

So is it a fuse or still maybe low on charge?
I'm thinking fuse or bad wire. Will check the fuses with a meter this time.:o
