AC not working

Okay here is my problem maybe someone had the same problem. I installed an A pillar gauge set, the typical trans temp, boost and pyro. everything is all nice and wired. Went to go use my AC the other day nothing came out but hot air??Okay, I thought, maybe a vacuum hose tube came off or something. Pulled the dash apart, nothing. Everything seemed intact. Put it back together and turned it on, the clutch on the compressor won't engage. So I pulled out my service book that came with the truck to see if there may have been a fuse or relay that I may have "tripped". Didn't note anything. Now it just worked a few days prior to the install of the gauges, so I am wondering if I may have done something stupid???Any thoughts would be appreciated.

If you didn't "do anything stupid" ,(probably not) as the gauges are a pretty forward install.

Maybe just a coincidence ?

Trouble shoot the A/C system as if you didn'y change anything.

You'll get it.

The A/C will be disabled if the engine coolant is at a level that indicates a "threat" of overheating.

Interesting point, wwest, Stroked99, did you leave the stock gauges working? Or did you disconnect them?

Guages that I am referring to are the A-Pillar ones. The over fill tank is right at max level when cold. I haven't really done anything since I replaced the ICP sensor and the EGT tube but that was about three weeks ago and I think I have had the air on since then. I am at a lost...

The other day I went ove the compressor to make sure everything is connected. Also, The temp gauge in the truck has been running at normal..You got me on this one...
