Default AC clutch wont engage
Hey guys my '98 cherokee 4.0l will not engage the clutch, i have 0 testing tools except a Freon filler. i am aware of a "paperclip" "Fix" to get the clutch to turn on, but i have no idea where to jump the wire, can someone show me a picture?

i cant find where the filler should connect either, pictures are a plus!

I had same issue and fixed it by replacing the low pressure switch.

To test if this is the issue you can remove its connector, take a small wire and short circuit the connector pins.

This is where the switch is located:
