Default AC Compressor not kicking on

i checked low side before adding freon, it was in green range indicating freon in system
tested high pressure switch mfrom wiring harness, compressor wasnt kicking on when i jumped from harness, i was reading around 6 kohm so assuming that part is fine

Condenser Fuse Relay 82930-30030 - i jumped this wiring harness for this relay....it had 2 pins.... it sparked slightly but im unsure if i messed it up

i want to test the ac compressor clutch, but i removed a wiring harness from compressor and it had 6 pins, so i plugged it back in, cant see the other wiring harness on compressor

can anyone advise how to test the AC clutch....did i mess up the condenser relay

If your Freon level is ok it could be the famous Toyota Flow switch problem. I wrote a Lexus Service Manager a letter a while back give to Toy/Lex about this problem The a/c compressor will be perfectly fine, but won't cut on, due to a $3 cost to make switch. May or may not be your problem? Normally if you disconnect the battery and turn the a/c off 1st. Leave for 10 mins then cut back on, then cut the a/c on it will start working again for a little while. Why did you add Freon? Sometime to Freon add if +/- then throws the Flow switch off to short out.
