Where does the compressor clutch get its signal/power to engage?

I am thinking it from the computer through the low pressure switch then high pressure switch finally to the clutch. Is there a WOT relay on those? I have already swapped the power relay and tested for power back to the low pressure switch with no power (using a test light).

Can I jump the clutch and coil with straight power to test it? I am assuming the system is grounded and gets a power/positive signal to engage.

Thanks in advance, Kevin
