A/C compressor does nt work?

I changed the radiator and some A/C hose on my 2010 G37 i know the a/c was empty and i went to my garage to refill the A/C gaz.
The problem is the A/C compresseur does nt turn result is no cold air !
do i need to do something special to reset the A/C control ?

Could it be that it can sense when the pressure is not within spec and not turn on? I know when I filled my maxima up and overdid it, the compressor would not turn on and when I released some pressure from the ac it would kick on.

AC in our car is very sensitive , if small problem anywhere in air circulation ; all system fail , so you have to ckeck it step by step.

A/C Dryer , A/C Expansion valve and and compressor , my advice you buy all new (since you have rebuilt salvage car).

After fixing them you have to check the AC air lines by filling it with air , then wait for 30 mins , if the air pressure remain same you dont have any leaking prroblem.

Then electric ; you have to be sure power is there (wiring , fuse and sensor).

After you do all of this and filling good brand light freon gas (I am assuming the Condenser is ok) the AC should run.

DONTforget this : there is damn small sensor that control on/off AC attach to the evaporator (behind the dash) it should be there otherwise your AC will be working untill damage.

I hope this could help you little.

i looked in the ipdm e/r for fuse , and it was ok,
after i tested the continuity on the terminal between compressor and ipdm e/r, continuity exist .
i tryed to replace ipdm and nothing changed.
finaly i did a self diagnostic on the car i during the test i saw the clutch is working.
but it still not working when i turn the A/C on.

My conclusion is : the compress is ok , clutch magnet is ok, wiring is ok .but something tells the computer to not turn on the compressor ! I can t solve this problem !
