So my 96 ranger 2.3 compressor will not kick on and it’s baffling me. I’m fair with electricity but not an expert by no means. Here’s what I’ve tested
System is charged, have continuity at low pressure switch when unplugged (the 2 prongs in the switch) I also have 12v to ground (1 lead on negative battery terminal) on both wires going to the switch. Here’s where things get funny, I have 12v going to the high pressure switch, but nothing coming out of the switch ( once again, measure with meter on negative battery terminal ). The high pressure switch has continuity between the 2 prongs on the switch and I also have continuity going from the “downstream” side on the switch to the NC lead on the WOT relay. Even if I jumper the switch I still don’t get voltage to the relay, it’s disappearing seems like.... Any help is appreciated....
