Angry A/C help

I tried to recharge my a/c on my 02 and had a problem getting the clutch to engage. I vacumed the system out, Drew it down and got almost 24oz of 134 and 4oz of oil in the system before I had to stop and vacume it out again. At that point high side was @ 100psi and the low side was at almost 150psi. Yikes. Heres where its got me, When I pull the fuse and put it back in i can hear something click. got me. The car did sit and only had 22k put on it between 2002 and 2011, and 2400 miles between 07 and 2011. I wouldnt imagine sitting would make a comp go bad but somethings going on and has me

I ended up changing the compressor.

Were you running the system while charging? Once enough pressure is in the system it should engage the compressor. If not, there may be a problem with your pressure switch(s)

Thanks for the link Rick. I breezed through it quick and I at least feel a bit better seeing I can get a new one for under $200. Does the LS compressor fit the 2.5 too? Just baffles me since the car only has 30k on it. Even when it was sitting it was in a heated garage but sitting isn't good for it either.
