I had a similar situation with AC compressor wouldn't kick on when I first bought my '01 with about 130k miles.

I couldn't figure out how to disconnect the wire going to the compressor to hotwire the thing you figure out if the compressor was shot.

I went to plan B; check the pressure sensors. The low side pressure sensor, the weather seal was so tight it wasn't pushed on all the way.

It took maybe half my body weight to push the damn thing on but when I felt the snap of the connector lock the compressor also instantly engaged!
