Default A/C issues

So I have been running into some serious electrical issues. Currently trying to figure out why my AC compressor is not getting power. I have narrowed it down it is an issue from the dash to fuze box. Any help would be great.

What have you done to narrow it down? What are the symptoms?

I hook a power source to the power cable and it worked and I also checked the power to the fuze box both worked correctly. When I hit the ac button on my dash it won't kick the compressor on.

if you have power at the connector but the compressor is still not turning on, you need a new compressor.

I have a used one I will let go for a steal if you are interested.

I wasn't getting power to the connector. I supplied outside power to the power wire and fuze box to get the compressor to work
