The pump will not engage until there is pressure in the system. how are you re-gassing it? system needs to be vacuumed for approx 25mins then another 5mins leak hold check before the modern aircon machines will allow a regas and thats only if its passed the leak hold test.

Mike the Aircon is switched through the ecu and i dont think the loom you have has the aircon stuff wired in as magictorch removed the pump.

 

This i can fix when mapping

 

i spoke to j (magictorch) and he said he had the aircon working when the syvecs was fitted to his.

the system was vacumed and pressure tested, the seals were leaking from the compressor as these were removed when (whifbitz) rebuilt my engine i replaced these and rechecked the system all is fine.
