Post 03 CRV compressor not engaging

hey guys I need some help. I read some forums earlier but they aren't exactly tailored to my exact issue.
03 CRV compressor wont engage. put gauge on there, low side high around 90 and high side low around 150.
checked and swapped all relays and fuses related to the ac...both fans work. tried jumping the compressor from battery, nothing. checked for power coming from the wire connected to compressor, nothing. i put autel scanner on it and it showed me that the ac switch is able to go to the on and off position when pressed. if you guys could help me out that would be appreciated

The clutch coil is likely open . You should get resistance if you read the coil continuity with an ohm meter... you will need to confirm the connection to the clutch coil is intact and there are no opens.. if you get under the car and remove the splash sheilds you can gain limited access to the wire and connector to the the compressor clutch. Its common for the coil to fail. Also make sure the compressor turns freely...in other words, check to see if the compressor is apart inside; if so, you'll need a compressor and the filter/ receiver should be changed in the condenser ( or a new condenser)

I have the same issue. I have usually just replaced the whole compressor and clutch together ( the usuall compressor failure on all of my last 4 CRVs) but this time I may just replace the clutch on the current 2006 unit. As it faded out over a couple of days. I need to check my compressor first as well.
