Subject:A/C compressor not turning

Hi,

I am try to revive the air conditioner on my 1985 Westy.� When I turn on the A/C the fans inside the passenger compartment blow warm air.� I looked at the compressor, and it isn't turning. After turning the engine off, I found that I can�turn the compressor by hand.� I�don't believe the compressor is seized. My guess is that the compressor clutch isn't engaging.� I plan to find and check the fuses and relays that send power to the compressor clutch.� 

Does any know of a good way to temporarily jumper power to the clutch to see if it will engage?� Any other advice?
It sure would be nice to have the A/C working this summer.

Thanks,

Raymond
