Well, issue sorta fixed. At least figured out.
The issue was my low pressure valve.
It is faulty, it leaked the freon out and wouldn't let any new freon in.
I'll have to replace it, but right now is stable and not leaking, so I'll leave it as it is until I need to refill again.
Right now AC is freezing cold.
I believe that my condenser fan relay is not working. Can you guys tell me where it is located?
Fan is working, I run 12v thru it and worked fine.IF your condenser fan in not coming on....before you suspect the relay....jump 12vdc directly to the fan and see if it runs.
If it runs then we know the fan is good. The fan comes on (and goes off) at predetermined pressures and unless the system builds pressure (related to temperature) enough to 'call' for the fan, it won't come on even if everything is OK with the relay and wiring.
When troubleshooting fans (and compressors) I like to work my way from the component on back. Its a quicker way to find trouble spots in the 'system'.

Pressure built up to 300psi and fan didn't come up
Where is the relay located?Relay or connections then most likely. Possible issue with trinary switch....but they tend to be reliable.
Where is the relay located?
Is not on the fuse box on the engine compartment.
All the literature I have is for 2004+, which doesn't have that fan.
wow, that's a convenient locationLook under the driver side headlight behind the bumper
Well, I think we can all agree that the fan relay was faulty.

Unfortunately it took the connector with it

Since I couldn't find that plug anywhere I decided to take the easy route and put an aftermarket relay and socket.
It now blows again...
