How to make AC work with your swap, aka: Need help with AC wiring thread Options

[lagos]

ok... so my AC hasnt worked since the swap and i figure now is a good time to wire that crap up. so i have my harness apart and im trying to look at the wiring diagrams to figure out a few things. seems like i need some help.

"ac amplifier" in the diagrams means the main AC compressor, correct?

on it, is a plug called A8 (looking at the 5sfe diagrams). the harness goes from there to a plug called IM1 and then 3 wires go to the ECU's 1st plug. where is IM1 located ? is it the white, 5 wire plug that goes from the 3s hanress, and plugs in right behind the glove box?

so i put everything back togther today to test out the ac but it dosnt seem to be working!?!

i start the car, turn the AC on, but i dont hear the radiator fans spin up or anything?

i checked for continuity from the black/white plug on the ac compressor to EA1 pin 10 and it IS there. then i checked for continuity from EA1 (male) pin 10 to the AC Rlay pin 3, and it is aslo there. so i dont understand why the AC and/or fans are not kicking on.

i disconnected the AC lines during my swap so the lines were empty. i tired to refill it with a can of r134 just to see if i would get any ac. i filled it to about 35psi... but still nothing.

any ideas?
