The compressor is not kicking on. If I pull the relay out and jump it the compressor kicks on and blows cold. It is full of Freon and the relay is good. What could be causing this?

This has a couple of pressure switches that may be the problem. See if clutch cycling switch is getting power then if it is going through it. If no power to that switch the control head may not be sending it to work. Then go to other switch and check that. Of course if there is a bad connection on any of these it may be the problem as well. A test light or volt meter can do the testing for you.
