a/c compressor wiring problem, the compressor wont start.... Options

[mauricio878]

i bought my car a couple months ago, it had a bad a/c clutch, its ball bearing was stuck and it was grinding on the compressor. right before i bought the new compressor, the old one gave up and the a/c light on the button inside wont even light up. i figured it was the relay, i changed it....still nothing. i installed the new compressor with a new filter/drier and expansion valve. i vacumed the system, did a flush and everything. i figured that it would start. still nothing. then i thought it would be one that wouldnt start untill it was filled up. i filled it up with oil and everything. still, the compressor wont budge. i managed to start it manually using that screw driver that is used to test the fuses, which are all good btw, and connecting that into the compressor switch and the other end to the battery, the compressor started right up, and nice cool a/c came out, however, i cant do that all the time, i need to know which wire it is that is dying out because i really cant stand this miami heat much longer without a/c. any help from any1 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and yeah the pressure was added and adjusted

low or high side switches

i think it was just the low, not sure though, could have been the high also
