Disco 1 Rear A/C removal??

Hi all,

I'd like to eliminate the rear passenger A/C unit as the freon pipes underneath leak like a sieve. I replaced the piping from the compressor to the front evaporator with a set from a "front-only" truck and charged it up successfully (no leaks,,,yeah!!!). Unfortunately the compressor clutch won't go on and it's not getting a signal to.

Has anyone done this conversion?? I'm guessing there is some sensor in the rear unit that I need to short/jump out but I'm at a loss. The "combined pressure sensor" in the front is not getting any 12v juice at all.

Anyone have any experience with this?? Do I maybe need a controller from a front-only truck??

THanks!!!

I should also mention that prior to replacing the front piping, the A/C would work if charged. It just wouldn't hold a charge because the piping to the back would leak out after a few hours.
