Default AC problem on '90... please help

Blower recently replaced, no problem. Accumulator registering 100+ PSI. Tried shorting Pressure Cycling Switch, but the compressor does not engage. Messured Voltage at the compressor, less than .1V. AC fuse switched out with others, no help. Is there a relay in the fuse box that is interchangeable with the AC regulator? How do you run 12V from battery to the hot lead of the clutch? Is it the same plug as the compressor? Any other ideas? Thank you. George. :cry

Disconnect the battery for a while and it will reset any error codes that the ac system may have stored. My 90 had set a code that said it was out of freon even trhough it was fully charged. It would not engage the compressor. I took it to the ac shop and they told me about the easy fix.

I just pulled the fuse and made sure the head unit did not get any juice. I let it off for about 10min. No improvement after I put back the fuse. Any other suggestions?
