I appreciate all the help. It still did not work. It was 45 tonight and I do not know if there is a temperature limit that would not allow the ac to work, but that just sounds like I'm grasping at straws.

FWIW, I did get an ohm meter and the pressostat read 0 with the engine off.

Would you walk me through the process of hotwiring the compressor? My knowledge is limited but I am trying to get this right.

The freon charge issue is a very interesting idea you brought up. With the car on and with the ac button depressed (but obviously not working), I have checked the charge with my gauge and it reads in the yellow. I have charged it only once before. It was in the green that time and went into the blue. The blue reads full on my gauge. Why would the gauge read yellow now? Could that be the clogged expansion orifice?

Thanks
