Unhappy Compressor Problem

Today i replaced the #3 plug and wire. truck did run better but now the compressor will not kick in and it worked fine on friday, does anyone know if there is a switch or a fuse that i could have bumped on the pass. side of the firewall, I have looked at most of the connections on the compresser and on the firewall,.this is a 98 150 with the 4.6l any suggestions would be appriciated. I would like to see if anyone has a owners manual i could buy for this truck,(fuse block diagram) Thanks again

Owner's manuals are available free of charge as a downloadable pdf file from several of Ford's websites including www.fleet.ford.com under the MAINTENANCE heading.

The low pressure cycling switch is attached to the top of the accumulator can near bank 1 on your engine. Check it for solid connection as it may possibly have been disturbed.

Also, check fuse F5 in the underhood fusebox. It runs the HVAC system.
