My air conditioner is not working the mechanic told me that the compressor is fine but something he said in the computer is preventing it from turning on any clue as to what he is talking about or what I can do about my air-conditioning compressor not turning on although my air-conditioning mechanic told me the compressor is fine.

The compressor is not being activated due to an electrical fault. You need to test the power supply circuit to the compressor and its ground circuit.

Start with test to the compressor relay. Check for power supply and proper ground. The ground circuit might linked to the engine computer depending on system.

You need an auto electrician to help.
