The AC unit is not getting electricity
It works fine when I manually bypass the circuit, but the actual wire going to it has no juice
Is there an AC relay switch or fuse that I am not seeing?
Or what?

OK
So the pressure is very high when it is not working
However when I "jump" the AC it works and pressure is good
So I still think it is electric

In the red zone
How is this direction of thinking going to help?
I am trying to tell you that the wire going to the AC has no juice
It would have to have electricity to shut off !
When I do get current to it it works and does NOT shut off and pressure is good
It is Not the AC, it is electrical.
Can you help or not?

Alright with the ac on and the car running you should have power across the low pressure switch both wires on the accumulator?You should also have power across the high pressure switch both wires behind the center of front bumper?

Where your drier is?Thats the low side switch that gets power from your ac controls switch. Go back to your ac controls switch see if you have power out of the green wire with a red stripe with the ac on and the car running?
