Could be. On some models the pressure switch sends a signal to the computer which grounds a relay to power the compressor clutch.
You would really need a wiring diagram for the system to see how the system is powered.

No power to clutch on my ac compressor

Could be several problems. Depending on what vehicle you have you may have high and low pressure switches. If the freon is low, the low pressure will not let the compressor engage. The ac controller could be bad not sending current to the AC clutch. If you have power to the relay, depending on the vehicle, the relay may not be getting a ground signal.

Ac relay bad or why won't it allow ac clutch to engage

You may have a low pressure switch that is bad not allowing the power to get to the compressor. Also maybe a some bad wiring in the system.

2008 Dodge Charger 5.7 hemi police/car. where is Ac Clutch relay? A.C. compressor clutch not engaging. Everything else works fine. Not low on freon! Any suggestions?

My guess would be either low pressure switch or the relay. Should be in the power distribution center under the hood.

94 accord ac not working. Jumped compressor off hot post on battery ac clutch came on and started cooling. Change ac fan relay and ac clutch relay. Did a by pass on the pressure switch. Nothing helps.

There are 2 pressure switches on it. High and low. Make sure you jumped the high switch. If so, the ECM could be bad. Check wiring first. Low refrigerant could be the problem also.

My ac compressor on my dodge 2500 want engauge?

This could be a few things. The freon could be low, one of the switches (high or low pressure) could be bad, or you could have a bad compressor clutch. You can test the clutch by checking for battery voltage and ground at the two pin connector with the A/C on if you have both power and ground, then the clutch is bad. You really should start by hooking up pressure gauges to the A/C ports to check the pressures, and these vary depending on ambient temperature and whether the A/C compressor is engaged or not. I am willing to bet that the freon is low though and may be just as simple as recharging the system.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

NO POWER TO AC COMP

Fuse #5 is for your ac.

On the Hi/Low pressure switch conection Terminal 1 and 2 are for AC clutch bridge them briefly to see if clutch engage if so system is low on refrigerent.

If you get cold air its more then likely Hi/Low switch is bad.

Note engine must be running and ac fan in on position.

Good luck
