Hi Harris,

Did you check if the condenser fan and compressor is running when the AC is turned ON?

Is the 75 psi with the compressor running and on which port?

To test if the compressor clutch is working, disconnect the wire and apply voltage to the clutch terminal. If compressor clicks, the clutch should be working.
