Appreciate your kind offer to donate. There is a sticky at the top of the board (right now it is just above your thread) from Tim that delineates donations.
Oops, Tim is ahead of me he just posted a paypal link

Shy of a phantom MVAC technician dropping in, I am not sure how much more help I can be, at least. Would seem if you cannot find what you want on the FSM wiring diagram that you might be SOL.

I would again suggest a one month subscription to AllData.
You may also end up replacing the control module

Keep us posted

Thank you very much for the schematic. I appreciate all the help. I am beginning to think that the grey/red power wire make be broken somewhere in the harness so I might try making a new connection wire frrom the high pressure sensor since both would be receive a 5 volt charge when AC switch is activated.

Well my attempt to run a bridge wire to the evaporator temp sensor to the high pressure sensor wire didn't work. I had the engine running and merely connected the end of the wire to a mutimeter to read the voltage (5v) and the engine stopped dead and the starter would not engage. I disconnected the battery (-) trminal for 15 minutes and the engine, thankfully, started and runs fine. Not sure what happened but obviously the ECM didn't like it ! I found another '03 ECM and will replace the one in the car and see what happens.
The link to make a donation worked but Paypal gives the message that they cannot send money because they don't send money to that country?
