Ac compressor relay jump?

Hi guys,
Can anybody tell me how to jump the AC relay. My AC clutch will not turn on because my Freon is empty. I'm assuming that the ECU has told the compressor to stay shut off to protect it.

Then you would need to jumper the low pressure switch, not the relay. Switch opens on low pressure.
Switch is (predictably) located on the compressor suction line, between the battery and passenger side headlight.

Of course, running the compressor 'dry' will destroy it....
