Be sure you jumped the correct plugs on Rec/dryer....

what do you mean by this ---"I swapped ACCs with a good used one and still get same symptoms.".....
As Leathermang stated, you need to short the HARNESS wiring, not the wires coming from the sensor on the dryer. Short the two harness wires that conn to the sensor on the R/D and see if the fan works (it should no matter what condition the A/C is in.)

Also, for the ACC, even bad ones should operate the A/C when the Temp wheel is all the way to cold, the fan switch is manually on high and full operation is selected (button next to defrost.) All the bad units I've repaired at least still worked in manual operation. I'd suspect something under the hood. Try the fan jumpering as explained above and LUK what you find. If nothing else, we're getting into summer, you should be able to supply 12v to the fan so it's on all times while running.

Good luck.
