A/C not working

Hi All,

So I have had this issue with my A/C first not blowing cold, now the relay that engages the compressor clutch does not power up when I put the A/C on. I have taken the cover off the relay and when I push the contact together the rpm pick up and the clutch engages. I have followed the green wire with a red stripe that should engage the relay but lose where it goes in the harness to inside the cab. Anyone had an issue like this?
I kind of think it maybe the climate controller. Which maybe the whole dash control.
cheers

Test from the source outwards starting at the a/c compressor.

Apply 12v / voltmeter and see if it's getting power. The compressor itself may be pooched (common issue).

Trace back from there using the electric schematic under wiki.

Found yhe problem. Low freon pressure in A/C system not enabling pressure switch on receiver dryer to complete circuit. Will get gas topped up.
