I have a 97 Q45 and my a/c compressor will not turn on. I checked the relay. I have constant power , ignition power, but no ground from the computer to kick the relay over. I can power up the compressor from the yellow wire at the relay. I have good pressure on both the high and low sides. Also, using a scanner I was able to go into the inputs outputs of the ecm and saw that the ecm was being requested to turn on the a/c compressor and also to turn on the relay, but I still had no ground at the relay on the gr/b wire. I wondering if any of you have had this problem. I'm leaning towards the pressure switch on the reciever/dryer but not positive. Please Help ASAP

How about disconnect the switch(es) at their connectors and check for continuity?

If you look at the connector with the clip facing upward, here are the pins:

-- 2 14 3

There should be continuity between 1 and 4 (low and high pressure side).If there's no continuity then either the switch is bad or the pressure is either too high or too low.
