Default A/C not working...

I have a 2006 S/C S2000 with flashpro 55,000 miles and need help tracking down the problem with my A/C (which has not been modified).

All climate control functions work except when the A/C button is pressed the light comes on but the compressor clutch does not kick on.
I've checked the under dash fuse and replaced the under hood relay but no dice.
I used a wire to jump the connectors where the relay is hooked up per the service manual and the compressor clutch kicks on and a/c blows cold.

Soooo I'm thinking there may be a problem between the climate control A/C button and communication with the ECU?? Don't know what to do from here? What do you guys recommend I do next??

Fans do not come on when the button is pressed.

according to the service manual, you will have to troubleshoot the ac pressure switch circuit...

Disconnect the A/C pressure switch 2P connector.
Turn the ignition switch to ON
Measure the voltage between A/C pressure switch 2P connector terminal No. 2(blue/red wire) and body ground, there should be atleast 5volts

let me know

after that measure continuity across the switch, if you have continuity you might want to try a new pressure switch

It's under the center plastic trim in front of the radiator.
