    If that works, see if any of those pins are grounded. @Star Rider mentioned petes working on a ground. They did on the earlier trucks.

    Key on, A/C switch on, you should a ground. A/C switch off, yoy should lose that ground

    Yes petes work on a grounding system.

    Pin 30 on the relay goes straight to the clutch so jump your power on 87 to 30 and it should kick it in.

    No voltage at the compressor with it being jumped and it takes a bit of strength to spin it
