AC not workin in 99 cobra

[99cobraguy]

To the forum gods,

I have a 99 cobra that all of a sudden stopped blowing cold air. Recharged the system (1st time since I got it in 99) and still nothing. So then I pulled the low amp fuses #23 and #24, both were fine. Disconnected the battery and pulled the 50A fuse which seemed like is had some corrosion on it, but tested at a .3ohms with my multimeter.

When the car is turned on, the blower goes, but I don't hear the compressor kick in, when turning on normal or max ac. I'm not a mechanic, but what else can I test w/o taking it to a shop?

Thanks in advance for any directions or help you can give.

P.S. I also tried to use the other 50A fuse (for the ABS), just to see if I could narrow it down to a bad fuse. No success though.

you might have overfilled the system, the compressor will not start if there is too much pressure. i did the same thing last year. i bled some out of the low press. side and i can literally can blow out ice now

i had the sensor on the drier go out on mine. my compressor would not even turn on. new sensor in now it works great again, i cann't remember what they call the sensor though. low air pressure switch or something. you can take it off and jump the wires to see if your compressor will kick on. the sensor was right off the drier.
