A/C question on a 97 mercury tracer

Its my neighbor's car, i told him id look at it to see whats up with it.


The problem is that it was working fine one day, now the compressor isnt kicking on when i turn the switch for the ac.

so far i did a few things to help rule out stuff

current problem- only blows warm air/compressor not kicking on

tested the wires going to the AC clutch. had 12+ volts when switched on

i put 12 volts from a battery to the AC clutch and it kicked on.
while it was running, i checked the refrigerent pressure. 45-50psi. not low, not overfilled and it was blowing cold air.

tried doing that old trick with the paper clip in the pressure switch to jump it but that didnt work

fuses were good

is there a relay or something i missed? he doesnt have a book for it, so that doesnt help matters much lol. any info would be appreciated. thanks in advance!
