    Alrighty...got it.

    Here's the schematic:

    There's the binary switch you see that leads to the compressor's coil for activation. The A/C clutch relay is in the main PDM with a request from the HVAC controller, CIRC 97T:

    97T then goes to the MCH PDA on firewall:

    In short, it could be your HVAC controller is bad, but it is good to check/rule out all the wiring first.
