Default Air con compressor clutch not activating

I changed my radiator a few months back and since then the air con compressor has never clutched into the pulley so I'm without air con. Just had it regassed as I thought it could be low on pressure but this has not fixex things.
Any ideas as to what may cause this?
thanks
will

pressure switch faulty? this looks to see if there is enough gas in the system and then the compressor will engage..... if your sure there is enough as you have regassed the system it might be a faulty switch...... check all the basics first like fuses though.

see if there is power to the pump and if there is, then I have a full set up here, pressure switch and pump etc as I removed it from mine.

Give me a shout if you need anything

Legend,
How would I go about finding out if there is power to the pump? Only thing I can see for sure is the orange light on the dash lights up when I press the switch.
Cheers

put a tester in the wires on top of the pump, a little black clip, and see if there is any voltage when engine running, heaters on and on cold and air con on.
