Question A/C doesn't work after header/ORY install

Well about 2 months after I had headers, ORY, cut out and stall put in the car my A/C doesn't work anymore. It used to work perfect before but now nothing. I don't know if anything is related but I find it weird to stop working out of no where.

If anyone might know what the problem is, any help would be appreciated. I would hate to have to go to a dealer and pay big $$$ to fix something that I could fix.

Thanks

If it worked fine for 2 months after all the work was done it's nothing the shop did, something else is going on. Could be a leak, electrical problem, etc. I'd bring it to a local shop that does AC and have them look at it before going to a dealer.

Check and see if your headers didn't melt any wires.

Get a gauge and see if you have pressure on the low and high side. Is the A/C compressor engaging ?

Check all of the connector, high side pressure switch, compressor clutch, etc. and the fuses ?.
Have you tried to bypass the switches to engage the clutch ?

It does not seem to be engaging the compressor.

I would think if anything melted it would have been sooner than 2 months of driving, but I guess you never know.

I'll check all of the connectors and fuses and see if something is loose.


Thanks for all of the possibilities.
