How do I jump the low pressure switch to get my AC compressor to turn on? I’m trying to diagnose the AC Compressor. My air stoped blowing cold so I picked up a can of Freon to recharge the system (AC Pro). I then noticed that the compressor is not engaging. I tried to remove the battery ground to see if the compressor would kick in after but that was a no go. I also tried switching the AC off and on with the snowflake button. All I know to try now (based off reading) is jumping the low pressure switch to see if the compressor will kick in and if so I can add some Freon quick while jumped.
Pics would be awesome, hope someone can help. Having a crummy day.

The re charge in a can is hit and miss, and I know that. But it’s a cheap place to start. I waited till the car was cool enough and I got in and noticed the plug for the clutch was pretty loose... I wanted to remove the plug and get a mirror or a camera in there to see what was up and guess what happened next... the clutch end of the plug simply fell off. So I take it I found the culprit.
Next quextion, is it worth trying to replace the clutch only? Or should I get a new compressor (or used) and remove and replace? If I have to RnR I will need to fill Freon and add oil if I remember right. Any thoughts or tips are welcome.
My day day just keeps getting worse I think I need to call it and start over tomorrow
