You have 12 v power going to the clutch but the clutch does not engage? What are the hi & low pressures @ what ambient?

The pigtail? That little screw that holds it to the compressor may be hella tight, I destroyed mine trying to get it off. Just a note, the PCM signals the clutch to engage / disengage.
