A/C pressure is good, not high or low. Radiator fan is good but not coming on when A/C is on. I unplugged high pressure switch and cooling fans come on, so I know fans are good. I'm thinking of a faulty low-pressure switch. I thought maybe the fan relay was not working right but I didn't see a cooling fan relay. Please help!

A faulty low-pressure switch is your best bet, but we should run a CAN scan to see what comes up because it could be ab bd HVAC controller. you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon. here is a video to show you how. Also, let's check the fuses that run the system for power. This guide can help, and I have included the A/C system wiring diagrams so you can see which fuses to test and how the system works.

Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
