How can I jump the AC low pressure switch?

I havnt been able to get the compressor to kick on and so I have spent about 2 hours of testing the different parts of the AC unit had a whole to diagnose the problem. I have tested all the physical aspects of it like trying to reload it with freon, i have done the right hting to have it kick on, ect. but I havent had any luck. When I tested the rely I discovered the the rely works perfectly fine but there is no power coming through it. After an hour of internet research and a 3 AC unit diagrams later I think that the problem might be coming from the low pressure switch. I read that you can jump this switch and I was looking at it and realized that there are 3 wires running from it. According to some diagrams there is the 5v in, ground and the exit to the control module and so I know I have to jump the 5v and the exit but my problem is I dont know what pieces of the plug to jump. They are 3 different colors, red, black and green. I think its red and black that I need to jump but im not 100% sure. please help. Thank!
