Did you try jumping the compressor clutch to manually engage.it? I did that to make sure mine worked. After all my crap thing to figure out why mine wouldn't engage I found out my condenser was not there lol

Best way is.to jump the ac relay if I remember correct but I don't have the diagram in front of me. You should be able to jump the relay and complete the circuit. Problem is there are lots of other switches in between. I think I ended up energizing the wires going into the compressor and it worked but it makes me nervous... When I get home ill look at the diagram so I can be sure. I only did this to make sure the clutch was good.

With the motor running, the center portion of the compressor pulley should be spinning with the pulley.
