This may be silly enough. But is there a test for the ac on/off switch inside the truck to verify it’s getting power and sending power as requested. I’m trying to walk through the electrical process of the system.
2001 Peterbilt 379 ac help please

Somewhere between the relay and the compressor it's not getting power.
I've even had more than one compressor with a bad clutch out of the box In the last few years.
Check with a test light right at the compressor and see if it is getting power.Star Rider Thanks this. -
Also check that one terminal where the relay plugs in is a key switch power. With the A/C turned off.

I’m sure there’s a way, but is there a simple way to check a wire from point a to point b to try to see if it’s still good? -

When you hit your A/C button it trips the relay, the relay then sends the key switch power out through the pressure switches and then to the compressor clutch.
