A/C compressor quit working. The fuses are good. I disconnected the low pressure switch and ran a jumper between the two terminals in the wiring harness, compressor did not come on, but I ran a ground to one of the terminals in the low pressure switch harness and the compressor would work. As long as the ground is connected, the compressor will run, even when the A/C is turned off. I swapped out the A/C relay and nothing happened.
Strange thing is, I had replaced a bad coil the day before, all I disconnected then was the battery, the spark plug wires and the electrical plug, nothing else.
Thanks for any ideas![img:c6127a1266]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/352522_S5001300F_1.jpg[/img:c6127a1266]

Update:

Turns out it was the A/C switch 10 amp fuse in the #8 fuse slot. I had tested only one side of the fuse instead on both contacts. I blame it on old age......me!
