A/C Clutch won't engage

This is my first time posting so let me know if there are any errors. I have a 2001 Honda Civic LX with 150000 miles on it. The AC blows at all speeds but blows warm air. The AC button light is on. I shorted the AC clutch relay and it ran perfectly fine. I then tried shorting the pressure switch but that didn't help. I tested the blower motor transistor and it was fine. What can I do from here? I'm in desperate need of help and I don't want to take it to a mechanic. Any questions and solutions are welcome!

Re: A/C Clutch won't engage

Can you hear the compressor engaging? If not try tapping on the compressor clutch plate with a piece of wood while engine is running....maybe the gap between the clutch and coil has widened too much and not allowing the compressor to engage?
