My A/C Clutch never kicks in (at least I can't hear it - shouldn't it be very audible?)

I followed the Honda Service Manual, Section 22-12 through 22-21 and when I jumper Terminals 1 and 2 of the Compressor Clutch relay area (under the hood) I still don't hear anything and I don't notice the idle dropping.

Even IF your car is low on freon, how can you "force" the a/c clutch to kick in so it will pull in more freon when you do a recharge ?

Any ideas welcome!

 

u can actually see the a/c clutch engage.. all you have to do is start the car and have someone press the a/c button.. once u press it u should see the clutch engage and start spinning..

 

when doing the recharge it SHOULD pressurise the system enough to tell the computer that there is now significant pressure in the system to run the pump, I just did this on my 93 intrepid, just turn your A/C on full blast, have the engine running and just hook up the recharge kit.

just a friendly reminder, hold the A/C recharge can upside down to fill the system with refridgerant.

Edit: if the system still doesn't kick in then start tracing down your presure switches and check them for proper voltages.

 

The Blue/White is the low side pressure switch, I have no problems manually running the wires, since this was an engine swap prior to me purchasing. I think the culprit is the blue/white and blue/red... I know where the blue/white goes to...

Can anyone tell me where the blue/red (high side pressure switch) to where it runs to ??
