A/C compressor not engaging

i have looked through a lot of threads but havent found the cure

1985 300dt a/c was working well until today. now the compressor doesnt kick in.
i jumped the wires on the evaporator and it still wont engage (i think this is a good thing) so i think the freon charge is good.
the tack is working and all the climate controls fan speeds and blower ports work fine.
i hope its the klima relay or fuse to the compressor however i dont know where to look/do first.

any ideas?

Thumbs up

Evap wires? The evap temp sensor?

Open the fuse box. Are the fuses OLD? Like from 1985? If so, remove them ALL and clean the terminals... then replace them all.

Did you verify you have refrigerant by a set of gauges?
