Year and VIN?
Sounds like what i just went through.
2012 prostar VIN 3HSDJSJR8CN555546
Do you have the a/c fault message on the dash? Do you have any sort of diagnostic sw to connect to it and see what the fault message is if you have one?

Sometimes on these pro stars you have to reset them after the a/c is repaired or you won’t get power to the clutch. I’ve had luck with removing the battery cables for 15 minutes to do so.
Nothing shows up in the info center, but I am going to disconnect the batteries.
What were the pressures?
Sorry for not getting back in a timely manner.
I found the problem. A complete IDIOT some time in the past stuck the tip of a test light into the insulation of one of the wires that run from the high side pressure switch. It was hidden under the wire wrap. Repaired that and it works fine now.
Thanks for all the help!
