There is voltage. What range of voltage am I looking for?
I see a set of wires coming off the back of the compressor and they lead to the front. Very tight fit to get hands on the sockets. To take them off. do they pull up or to the back of the car?
This is the first time I actually had the ac on an extended period. Air coming out of the vents were not hot(but not cold either. Could I have a leak. I did convert it to R134a. Do you think it would be worth to by one of those refill stop leak kits that have a pressure gauge on it? Do you know how much pressure there should be? Or is it different for R12 and R134a?
Thank you.

If you have 12V between socket #5 and socket #10, the CCU is doing the proper job.
If the compressor is now working, why are you bothering with the wires and the plug at the compressor?
If the compressor functions and the air at the vents is not cold, it's time to put a set of gauges on it. Nobody can tell you what's wrong with it without some gauge readings.
No, you can't use one of those refill stop leak POS devices..........unless you get extraordinarily lucky. If you don't and you ruin the compressor, then you get what you deserve.
