WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!
Sorted it!!!!!  I rechecked for foreign splices in the harness, like soft touch mentioned, and spied a black wire coming from the cycling switch on top of the accumulator.  It was heavily wrapped and I missed it before.  I snipped it and everything works again!!!!!!
freaking awesome...thanks for the help all.

I am curious to know where the other end of that wire is.

I will let you know tomorrow.  it was over 100 degrees today, and I was melting.    The wire runs across the cowl to the drivers side, so I expect it's part of that alarm BS.  YOu should see all the splices in there. i will post a pic of it all.  it is scary.

it...spoke to soon.  The car overheated on the way to work today, so I pulled over to see if i could find something.  I then turned on the a/c and the fan came on, which cooled it down enuff(195) to get to work.  Sooooo, the a/c is functioning properly, but the EEC aint gettin the word that yo, I am hot gimme some fan.  I am looking at the wiring diagram's but cant figure out where the signal comes in at on the IRCM to turn the fan on.  I am thinking it has to be the ECT sensor, but i did r2 it with a spare one.
