C60 A/C Help

[-=Jeff=-]

car has refrigerant in the system and the systen worked last year. now the A/C Compressor is not turning on.

All buttons seem to function correctly and the air blows out of the proper vents for each function.. bu the Compressor does not kick on.

I have been going through the FSM and in section 8A-64 ( C60 compressor controls) is where I am at now..
looking at page 8A-64-4 Symptom Table

Mine is for A/C Compressor Clutch will not engage.. use Chart #2 page 8A-64-6

Chart 2 has me checking Pin A1 of Connector C1 for the HVAC Controller with a test light.. It lights..

Next step check ECM Green Connector (VIN J) Pin 2, turn key on, select MAX, Defrost Bilevel, Normal AC.. Test light should light but does not..
it then says to check circuit 259 and that is okay, so is says AC unit is bad.

I bought a BRAND NEW unit.. Same thing, so I am doubting it is the AC Controller..

now what?? I would like to get the AC working, but it will not.. this wire to the ECM is the A/C Request Line.. next is to bypass it and run 12v to see if it works..

but what else can i check?
