Default no power to condensor/compresor. need help troubleshooting

having problems with the a/c system in my civic. 93 cx converted to r134a(94 complete a/c system, new compressor, dryer, and expansion valve). 1st compressor did not work and I believe it fried some things. cant get the a/c to work without jumping it. tried different relays, checked fuses, and checked low pressure switch(which does have power, jumped it to no avail). not a electrial genius but have been toying/swapping/working hondeas for about 12yrs so I have a little knowledge. just need some help troubleshooting.

Still using the stock 93 Civic A/C system wire harness? Have you tried jumping the thermostat/thermoswitch in the evaporator? Does it have voltage?

What wire or wire terminal? The Yel/Wht or Blu/Red wire? If you jump the unplugged connector for the thermostat, does the A/C work?

Switched
Not sure what you mean.
