I have a 2000 Mustang convertible 3.8 that i tried to recharge. I noticed that the A/C pump was not engaged i tested #2 fuse A/C Clutch, Defogger Switch. Tested by turning on the rear window defogger on switch on dash light lit up, tested #24 A/C Pressure, under hood for voltage also and is getting voltage. Jumped the high pressure switch i think the one close to the firewall and nothing happened no power to the connector, compressor didn't click nothing. if there is a low pressure switch, i don't where it is to test it with a jumper wire. I will attempt to test the compressor next. It seems to me these areas are not getting power, except for the fuses. Does anyone know the cause?

Some of the Fox and SN95 guys are putting AC back in and are helpful. I can only theorize why there is not much help for your 2000.
