    This truck has no power to the a/c clutch. Works fine if clutch is powered up. Found wires on dryer thermister damaged. One chewed in half and the other missing insulation, could have shorted together.
    Have read posts on here about these but cannot find them. Any help appreciated.

    8600 ac.jpg That system is basically all controlled by the body controller. Once it sees something it's not happy with, it won't allow a/c operation. Power for the a/c clutch is a direct output from the body controller. It needs to see proper pressure from the pressure transducer and then proper temps from those thermistors. Really hard to troubleshoot without knowing what the body controller is seeing. Here is a diagram for your thermistors so you can at least make sure you have circuit continuity.

    Finally got back to this. Problem was an open circuit in thermister plug or wire to it. That is the one a varmint chewed up about six inches away. Just wanted to let you know and thanks for the info.
