Looks like there is other wires going to the compressor. Would I just slice these into the new conector?

First and for most check the freon then if u have over 30 psi on the low side. Then take a wire and jump the low presser switch if the compressor clutch clicks then replace the low presser switch, if not then jump the high presser switch if it click ur good if not let me know.

Trying to get it to where it will click so I can charge it. Also iirc there was something about it not taking freon or something like that. How can I fix that
