AC compressor not engaging
so a few days back on my US 1997 xj6L the AC stopped cooling, i tought it was gas cause the car had been parked for over 6 months. but today i took it to AC garage and they told me it was full of gas but the compressor wasnt turning on. so i told them to not do anything that this is something i can prolly fix myself if its electrical.
just want to know if there is a common cause for the AC compressor to not turn on so i can start looking there.

Check wiring to compressor and clutch
Does clutch engage?
Check trinary switch
Run a/c module self test sequences

I have the same issues with my 1995. Which fuses (of the never-ending collection of fuse panels) do I check?
The clutch is not engaging. I think it is one of the electrical connections. There is one on the compressor that is similar to a fuel injection connector. I've popped it on and off a couple times the compressor clutch doesn't engage.
I have a test noid light for fuel injectors, I wonder if the same test light would work with that connector.
Are there any other connectors near the compressor that we just can't easily notice?
