To sum up all of below, basically idk why my ac compressor clutch is not receiving power after r134a retrofit install. I didn't test old or new compressor prior to install, and my AC didn't work in my aw11 since I purchased it back a few months ago with the old R12 compressor. I Also removed the high pressure sensor in the frunk to test it out but only destroyed it in the process, so I have to buy a new one prior to addressing the issue and can't find one with the connector already installed. Idk if the heater core in the dash has anything to do with the ac system / retrofit since it wasn't addressed in the YouTube vid I watched.
I didn't want to deal with the hassle of sourcing R12 and shops that still provide R12 AC services, so I went to YouTube and watched how to do a R134a conversion and bought all the parts in the video's description. Removed the old parts and once the new parts arrived, I installed the new retrofit fittings, Denso compressor with PAG-46 oil and new accumulator and reinstalled ac pressure lines with Santech r134a compliant o rings and gaskets, except on the biggest gasket on the compressor that was shaped like a rectangle. I skimped on that because my Santech gasket kit didn't come with one big enough to fit the compressor and the old one seemed in OK condition.
I went to get my old r12 recovered / flushed (if there was any) at some hole in the wall shop that charged me 30$ for a flush and fill with my own refrigerant. But I was in and out in a suspiciously short amount of time, roughly only 30 mins.
So idk if I actually got a flush or had a vacuum pulled on the ac system prior to them filling with the new refrigerant. They filled the system with 6 oz of R134a refrigerant and the high side pressure was at 52 psi. When I went to test if it worked with them they told me to turn ac on blast in the interior and nothing happened. The mechanic told me my ac compressor clutch wasn't engaging and showed me and then brought out a tester light to test the connector and had no luck.
Also pretty sure my battery or alternator is bad which idk if that could affect the compressor not receiving power. My headlights have been turning on but won't pop up and I took battery out and charged it from 20% to 60% and 3 days later took the battery out and it was down at 40% again. No bueno and no clue if that could be affecting all of this mess.
