I recently changed the timing belt on this vehicle and now the air conditioner doesn't work. No power to the compressor or triple bypass switch. All fuses have been checked and are good and Freon level is good. Compressor engages if I apply 12vdc directly to the compressor pin. Any suggestions?

The power supply must have been damaged or disconnected when you did the work. Trace the wiring back to the power supply and check for breaks or damaged wiring / connectors.
