2003 f150
I have a 2003 f150. I had to bypass the heater core and now my A/C isn't working. The A/C compressor don't even come ON.

bypassing the heater core has noting to do with it.. See if you have power to the compressor wire... if not, check the fuses... look at what you might have bumped or got wet when doing the service.

Was the AC working before?
The compressor won't kick on if the system is low on R134a

It was working fine before the heater core went out. I did just put in a new radio/DVD player.

I would guess you pulled a wire plug apart behind the dash when the DVD was installed.
