If I understand right what you're saying about power at the on the dryer, then I'd say it's what highdesertrange is suggesting. Could be the low pressure switch itself not letting power get past that point, or it is doing it's job, pressure actually is low and not allowing power past the switch. For testing purposes, you can actually jump that switch, then turn on your AC and see if that gives power to the AC clutch.

Start the truck and turn the a/c on. Disconnect the low pressure switch and do a monentary jumper to see if you get power to the compressor then. If so you either have a low pressure condition or a bad low pressure switch.

So now you know, either the low pressure switch is bad, or the most likely, your freon is low.
