No codes to reset. I reinstalled my compressor . . . had to add some more compressor oil to it because I spilled some while taking in out. Once I had the system all sealed and vacuumed I introduced the freon into the system. I then cranked up the X and put the AC on max . . . I can't remember if the compressor engaged immediately or if I had to add some more freon to satisfy the low pressure switch but I did have to add more freon obviously and the compressor did engage without me having to do anything special.
One thing you might want to check out while your in there (since your X is as old as mine) is the wire the power wire that feeds the compressor coil. I would check it from the coil connector through that round guide on top of the compressor all the way to the frame. I found that mine was rotting to the point where the insulation was falling off of it. I replaced that wire by splicing into it at the frame rail running my own wire to connect to the coil. Still working like a charm.
I just noticed these were your 1st and 2nd posts. Welcome to the forum! What's funny about it is my first 2 posts were also because of this very same issue.
