2001 Pontiac Bonneville Ac not working

Air Conditioning problem
2001 Pontiac Bonneville 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 311000 miles

I was having trouble with my power door locks and push button trunk release and interior lights, so I was in the fuse box under the back seat checking things out. Ever since my AC compressor will not turn on. Help. I cannot find a fuse under the back seat marked AC. The problem with my power door locks/ interior lights/push button trunk release mysteriously disappearred after I got out of the 100 degree hellish Texas heat& back in Minnesota.

I checked this fuse and it is good. Swapped it out anyway. AC still not working. There is no power to the 2 prong hookup that connects to the compressor when I have the AC on. I think there should be. Any mre suggestions? Thanks. Mike PS I also switched out the AC relay inside the fuse box under the hood. It was good also.

Let's try this behind the a/c compressor on the a/c line you will see a switch with a connector going to it that is your a/c pressure switch.If your pressure in the system is too high or low it cut's your a/c compressor off.With the car idling and the a/c on unplug the connector to the a/c pressure switch and jump the terminal's across the connector going to the switch just for a few second's.Did the compressor come on?Also did your cooling fan come on?
