Hello i have a 1995 honda Civic and i cannot get my a/c compressor to kick on , only by jumping it

JDM k24a with NO vtec pressure switch/ so its blocked off and my connector is hanging.

Everytime i turn the a/c button on the fans come on, but the compressor does not kick on
it is wired just like hybrid racing's guide, it kick on when i add power to the compressor.

ive disabled multiplexer, vtec pressure switch, and checked USE VTP AS AC SWITCH.

Ive connected A15 BLK/RED on the (STOCK ECU CONN) to E18 (MINES IS EMPTY SLOT)on the (RSX ECU CONNECTOR) using the supplied yellow wire.

Ive Connected B5 BLU/RED wire on the (STOCK ECU CONN) to B9 a BLU/BLK (VTPSW) wire on the (RSX ECU CONNECTOR).

also one question . Do i need to ground the vtec pressure switch connector thats hanging inside my engine bay to get the compressor to work.

thank you !!!

What is the part number of the ECU you are using?

Does the AC system have enough pressure to come on? There is a pressure switch which will not allow it to come on if there is not enough pressure.

I’ve came across this , and was wondering since I have a jdm k24a with no pressure switch to ground the vtp, can I manually ground the black wire NOT the blu/black wire.

The engine will have nothing to do with this. It has to do with the AC system, wiring and the ECU used.
