A/C issue after Cam install
Guys, I finished my cam install last night, and now have no a/c. I pulled my codes, and of course am getting a misfire code, but also got this one
* P0532 - Air Conditioning (A/C) Refrigerant Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
Anyone have any thoughts?

Well, the obvious questions:
1) Did you disconnect the pressure sensor, and if you did, did you reconnect it?
2) Did you discharge the a/c, or did you possibly break a line?
You should probably check the pressure in the A/C system with a gauge. That code says that your pressure is too low - and when that's the case, the compressor won't kick on. You could have loosened a fitting enough to where refrigerant escaped, so all it would take would be some refrigerant added to recharge the system (assuming you tightened the fitting back up).

I did not disconnect any lines and didn't see any breaks
Could I have done something wrong with the switch?

when you did the cam, you moved the A/C condenser up out of the way with lines attached I take it? If you bent one of the aluminum lines too sharply or hit the condenser core off something sharp you may have a leak....so I agree get the system pressure checked.

Ok, I will have to do that. I didn't see or smell a leak, or notice any odd colored fluids dripping (thinking they dye the freon). I guess one of the charge kits with a pressure gauge should work?

Ok, for anyone interested, turns out one of the wires in the weather pack going to the High pressure switch broke off inside the weather pack. I took it apart and re-assembled and got it working yesterday.
