Welcome to the forum.

You can try jumpering the hi and lo pressure switches momentarily to see if that will allow the compressor to run. Or is that what you meant by by-passing the evaporator?

Best thing tho would be to check the pressure. I suspect that you may have a discharged system.

Did you check this truck out before you bought it?

got the service 4wd message to go away ( hit the dash above the switches) just service air bag comes on now

Need to put a set of gauges on the A/C to see if it has sufficient charge.
