Default How to test ECC on 1996 850

How do I test the Electronic Climate Control on a 1996 850 GLT? Some connection of an LED to pins in the OBDII port? My main problem is that the compressor switches on and off continuously when I run the A/C and the air never gets cold, because the compressor is never on, it's just cycling on and off every couple secs or so. I recharged the system and have checked the pressure and it is within normal limits.
I appreciate any help, thanks.

The high pressure switch might be bad not allowing the cooling fan to come on.
Are the lights flashing when you start the car?
