   Can I jump 12V to the compressor connect

   The air conditioning is blowing just air.   
   Not hot but not cold.   
      
   I don't think the AC compressor is engaging.   
   But I don't know how to tell for sure.   
      
   The belt is spinning the AC compressor but I don't know how to tell if the   
   compressor clutch is actually engaged (the "knobs" are not spinning).   
      
   There is a plug with two wires which is mounted on the compressor.   
      
   Can I jump 12V to one of those two wires to see if the clutch engages?   
   Will it hurt the ECU?
