My air conditioner does not work, the compressor is not getting power. I checked relay and fuses all good. I ran hot wire to compressor and it engages and checked pressure of Freon on high and low side also good. Air blew cold when hot wired. What could my issue be?

It might be the pressure switch if it is cooling. Try jumping pressure switch red and gray wires see if compressor starts. If it does make sure there is a enough Freon in system which when running should be anywhere from 27-42psi at 75/85 degrees. If not it is a Freon problem. This is for manual control only. If automatic temperature control where you set temperature have it scanned for codes.

Its a dual climate with digital temp control for each side. Is it a scan I can get done at the parts store? Or a dealership thing?

Ok that is whole different ball game. You can either go to a dealer or a garage that has a pro scanner for it.
