I had to replace the a/c compressor on my 2000 Deville. I don't know how to jump the compressor so it can be recharged. It was easy on the older models.

The compressor doesn't have to be jumped to charge it. It will kick in automatically as soon as there is 50 PSI unless the computer has shut it down due to a stored code. In that case disconnect the battery for a minute before starting the process.
