Ok so how can the clutch work and there be voltage at the compressor and it not work.
Before you blame the connector I already jumpered right past the connector...nada.
Please help this is mind boggling!!
I would love to blame the CCRM or one of the pressure switches, but if they were bad I wouldn't be getting voltage at the compressor...I think?
I havn't checked the charge yet, but that goes back to the voltage if I didn't have a good charge I wouldn't have any voltage at the compressor...again I think?
Please advise,

2 things.
First, when you checked you voltage at the clutch, did you check your ground? Could this be a ground issue?
Second, you may have a wear issue on the surfaces of the clutch itself. Once this happens, the magnetic field made from the clutch coil is not strong enough to overcome the (worn) distance and spring pressure. Combine this with a little voltage drop, it might explain what is going on.
So maybe your jumper either supplied a missing ground, or increased the available voltage. Or both! Keep looking, your very close.
