2006 f150 power issue with AC clutch

I've got no power to the AC compressor is there some one that can post a link with a wire diagram of the AC system. All fuses are good, got freon in it where it pegs out.
Was changing plug 5 yesterday now AC doesn't work. It worked before I started changing the plug. Also got power at low and hi psi switch. A PDF schematic of the AC system would really help to know I am going in the right direction. Don't know if this means anything but had to leave off #5 coil pack cause spark plug broke off
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did u check the little fuse box under the hood on the drivers side? There is a fuse/relay for the compressor there also.

Was just told on another Ford site that Ac will be disabled in case of sever miss fire. I should be able to get the broken spark plug out by next Friday and I'll post the results to maybe help someone else if that takes care of the problem.

Ok. The miss they are referring to is number 8 i think. Furthest one next to firewall on passenger side. One thing you might check is the wiring going to the connector .The wires sometimes melt against the ac line if it lays on it. Been there done that before lol. Might be that whole side too though.

That's #4. #8 is farthest back on driver's side.

Thanks GLC, brain fart on my end. Too much work, too little sleep. Hell I've even changed out that COP twice along with the connector because I thought it was the COP and that's when I found the wires melted to the #8 connector on the AC return line. Apparently it vibrates down and touches that line and melts a little every time it touches and eventually shorts out causing the misfire and no AC.

Thanks for all the advice but the fix was getting #5 broken spark plug out and replacing it along with a new coil. A few seconds of running and AC came right back on.

What they said is happening, the computer disabled the AC when there's a severe miss fire on any cylinder.

So far I've been changing out the plugs and coils, I've got 5 out so far and two broke off. The best way on getting them out in my opinion is lisil tool. Its the best $50 I spent on Amazon.

One last note when changing the plugs do 3 & 4, 7 & 8 at the same time and when doing 4 and 8 leave the coil on 3 & 7
