    Your A/C compressor clutch has a direct ground, so if you have 12 volts on both sides of the clutch, then you are missing the ground (an open ground shows battery voltage throughout the circuit). You truck most likely had a 1 wire compressor clutch, meaning that the ground was through the compressor housing. If it was changed to a 2 wire plug clutch, the ground needs to be grounded.
