Hav you checked:

Low pressure switch
High pressure switch
Ambient temp sensor(s?)
Evap temp sensor
Wiring from any of the above.

What readouts are you seeing on the climate control channels? Anything look
suspicious?

I had a shop once bypass the pressure switch that is on the right side up
by the evaporator box (I think near the accumulator) and run a wire from
the input to that switch, through a toggle switch in the cabin and then to
the clutch. I disconnected their bypass circuit and reconnected the
pressure switch after I charged with Envirosafe and everything works fine.
I am not sure what that shop encountered that made them think they needed
to bypass that pressure switch, but it seemed to fix itself by the time I
had recharged and reconnected.

HTH,
Eric
