What prompted the change, and was the compressor functional before the change?

The low pressure switch on the accumulator, you can just jumper the two terminals, and it may come on. You could also apply power to pin 4 of the relay connection. You should have power on 2 of the relay terminals from fuse 5 that is in the relay center. The PCM is what grounds the compressor relay, so therefore it can be what is preventing it's operation.
