CRAP! Hot again!

So here is the deal, I thought I had it fixed…….
I replaced switch after the shorting out method worked and much to my chagrin now it does not work .
Here are the symptoms
I do know the aux fan is working
With plug shorted everything works, fan, aux fan, compressor cycles on and off, responds to the temp dial, aux fan even shuts off after a time, turn it to max cool and it works fine
Connect to the switch and the electric fan stops, compressor cycles occasionally but not enough to cool
Now I am lost, all connections are secure, no bubbles in sight glass.
I need to take it on a trip, can I just short it out and make it work , is this a bad thing?
Could my pressures be the issue, It would seem that it should still work at least the electrical part.
Are there other switches I should check
Here is the other issue, the temp gauge never really goes above 85-90C, could that also be an issue, I thought the aux fan worked when the compressor got hot or pressure was high
HELP
