I've also had someone tell me on another forum it may be the pressure switch. Likely?

Fuses checked, not the problem.

I'm not looking to repair entire A/C problem so I'm holding off on testing the thermostat, thanks for the reference. I just need my vents to blow air as of right now.

In this case, the condenser fan would run but the compressor clutch would not engage.

Check the fan switch with a multimeter (see diagrams above and below).

Hm.. I'm not sure on the state of the condenser fan. I'll have to see. As for now, is there anything that connects in the dash, a relay sensor, or something that could effect my blower? As stated before, the A/C light no longer turns on and I'm not receiving any air from the vents on ANY setting.

Also, I'm still in need of how to jumper the radio plug in order to allow my dome light to activate when I open the doors. Possibly related problems?

Where's the fan switch located? I'll give it a shot.

Test the rear connector:

for the relay, i'd just replace it and see if it fixes it. they're only like $5 so if it doesn't fix it, you just have an extra relay laying around

Okay, got that fixed, some loose connections and such. Anyhow, help with the compressor?
I don't want to have to replace it. We've jumped it and it won't activate.
