Default Replaced the A/C clutch but it wont engage

Connection and fuse look good. Anything else I should check for? Can I jump the AC clutch from the battery to test it ?

I checked and this appears to be an electrical issue. I get no power at the connector and if I jump the clutch it works.

Jump the low pressure switch and see what happens. If it works, you're most likely low on freon.

i completely redid my ac a little while back, replaced everything. apparently the little box between the fender and splash guard on the passenger side has something to do with the ac, or so the shop said, but i replaced that(i didnt have a splash guard at the time so it was messed up either way), the high pressure switch and then the low pressure switch and it started working perfectly. so try the high pressure switch next. also whats your lowside pressure at?

I'll have to try jumping the high pressure gauge tonight, havent had a chance to try this yet.I dont have a guage to measure the pressue, so I'm not sure what the pressure is.

The fuse in the kick panel labeled for the AC clutch looked good. Also are there any other fuses or relays that I should check?
