A/C clutch not engaging

Good afternoon,

What is the high pressure on the system? The fact you have only 35 pounds on the low side tells me you are low in Freon. The low side with the motor off should be close to ambient temperature.

I attached a wiring diagram for you to view. Check the fuse I circled for power with the key on. That powers the relay for the control side. You should have 2 powers at the relay with the key on. Pin 30 and pin 85.

I download the FORScan app and got these readings. See pic.

Okay, thanks. The fact the pressures are not the same tells me the expansion valve is bad and needs to be replaced. The dryer cartridge needs to be changed as well. It is on the side of the radiator and is accessed from under the car.
