Good job of testing there. If you did everything as you say the problem is 1. the computer is not getting the a/c request signal from the a/c switch or 2 the computer is not sending the ground to the a/c relay. Also there are 2 fuses that supply power to the a/c relay. Fuse #28 supplies the power to the relay coil and the computer grounds it. Fuse #22 supplies power to the relay common contact. Both of those fuses are located in the battery junction box which is in the middle behind the radiator. Either one of these fuses would keep the compressor from engaging>

sounds like you've done a good job checking it out . The relay controls the rad. fan in addition to ac comp. Problem may lie with the relay you replaced, on fords if the part no: is not exactly the same the internal schematic is different, if you purchased at a part store rather than at ford it is likely the wrong one. I've had this problem more than once working on different vehicles. Good luck

Sounds like you are not getting the ground input to the coils on the relays.Could be a computer problem,not sure on that vehicle.
