I even inter changed the relay next to it onn both sides since they are the same relay. I was playing with it yesterday and if i pull the relay and put it back in with the a/c switch in the on position the clutch will engage for about 2 seconds. if i keep doing that the clutch does the same thing but doesnt stay on. Is it the clutch or maybe something in the underhood relaybox? is there a way to jump the pins in the box to check or what?e

The low side should be reading 35-40 psi only when the compressor is running. If you have 35 psi with the system off I suspect you are still low on charge.
