So I have this right the blower and the compressor doesn't come on?

The relay only controls the compressor.
The blower is on a different circuit.

Might be a bad A/C module.

Ecc is electronic climate control. The temp dial has Numbers on it. Also it will have AUT on the temp, and fan switch.

It will be in either of the 2 places. The Main relay box under the hood or you will have to remove the fuse box cover and look under there.
Here is a link for a site that has a wiring diagram you can look at to help you back track from the low pressure switch and find the problem.

HMMM check and follow the wiring diagram.
It is hard to tell you much more without seeing the car.

I have run out of Ideas.

All that I have posted comes from all that I have seen wrong.
