Good afternoon,
Is the air cool in the car?
I need to see both pressures to see if the system is working correctly. You can rent a set of gauges at a parts store.

The system may not cycle depending on ambient air temperature.

Okay , got new set of gauges. here are results: ambient temperature 102 degrees
engine off pressures low 100,

engine on low 90
high 100
clutch runs constantly , will shut of with switch or pulling fuse,
i believe its a bad compressor ,

You are correct. The pressures did not budge at all.
Replace the compressor, dryer and expansion valve.
