This is my first post here I am new! I have a 94 deville with a 4.9 engine I hv recently replace the compressor and the fan blower as they both went out. After doing that ac worked for a min then low refrigerant code came up. So I drew the system and the orifice tube was clogged so I got a new one flushed the evaporator and condensor after doing so I am getting no action from the compressor to charge the system, the low pressure switch is live on both wires when system is on and high side is one live one not checked all relays and fuses HELPPPPP!!!!!

Maybe the low pressure switch is bad.

That said, you are going about this bass ackwards. You should have replaced the orifice tube, accumulator, compressor and condenser (ladder style condensers cannot be flushed) BEFORE recharging it. If the orifice tube was clogged, there was also debris in the rest of the system which may have made it's way back to your new compressor. Don't be surprised if it doesn't last as long as you'd expect it to.

Ok but before I throw parts at it, how do I find out if the switch is actually bad? With the switch unplugged I have 1 hot connection and a ground. But when plugged in both sides become hot, not the case for the 2 high pressure sensors. Plugged or unplugged it has one hot wire one ground wire, and again I have no acp codes
