I replaced the AC compressor on my 99 Intrigue and now there's no power. There was power when I put the key in the ignition but when I tried to start it, everything shut down and now there's no power at all.

Yes, the only things not connected are the pipes from the back of the compressor and the electrical connector. I think that's where the problem is but without the compressor there's nowhere to put them

Found the problem, the bypass pulley wasn't aligned properly, fixed and the car runs great.
