I am kinda pissed right now about this as well. My AC was working then became intermittently working. I added a can of Freon and it took it..then it wouldn't work at all...so I vented some of the pressure back off the low (suction) side. Now it won't work at all and I can't get my compressor to kick in to suck in the new can.

Is there a way to jumper the compressor to make it turn on so that it will suck in the freon. Can't figure out what the problem is. I disconnected the batter a couple of times to see if I could reset anything...no codes...just BS man.

If you find out what is causing your issue please post. Good luck.

switch the horn relay and the a/c clutch relay and see if it solves your problem.

So far this has worked...but I need to see if it comes back sometimes intermittent failures play games..but so far this seems to have resolved the issue. However the horn is working so the relay is obviuosly closing and making contact.
