Default Air con fault. Help

Aircon not working, compressor clutch not engaging.

What I have done so far:
Kwik fit vacuumed system, leak tested & filled back up at the weekend no issues there.

Compressor is not getting a live feed to the clutch, when a live feed was taken straight from the battery the compressor clutch engaged & the blowers blew very very cold. So compressor & clutch seem to work fine.

What else can I check or test?

Advice greatly appreciated.

I think there is a switch to tell the system when there is no gas or it is low, it's next to the battery on mine, it screws into the sight glass on the Aircon pipe maybe this is faulty ?
