okay, I''ll jump those buggers. I''ll say this... though, I''ve tired using a ac re-charge, and it said I was all charged up. So I''m thinking it''s something else.

Do you mean a recharge bottle with its own little pressure gauge?
Then maybe it IS something different.

A manifold/gauge set is better because it shows low AND HIGH side pressures.  If the pressures are good and it works when you jumper the pressure switch, then its probably a bad pressure switch.

Auto Zone stores have or can get U a DVD titled "Diagnosing and Repairing Air Conditioning Systems" part #ACVID1 and it costs very little.  I too am a noob and it helped me alot.  The store also offers a loan-a-tool program if you need guages, system flush kit, etc.
