The light is to check to see if the wires and connections can carry a load. It's kinda like a voltage drop test. Just because a wire has 12v on it doesn't mean it can turn your starter motor over or in your case turn you compressor clutch on. If the wires can power on a headlight you should be good. How did you hook you compressor up to make it come on?
Man I don't want to take this to the dealer, especially since I've pretty much checked everything.

If you want somewhere local, head over to that O'reillys I used to work at over there and ask to talk to Ben (the store manager, hes a cool younger guy) and tell him you're a friend of mine and ask if he knows of a good place that won't rip you off. There's tons of shops in that area, and that store does a lot of commercial business with plenty of them.

couple suggestions/questions
1 are you sure you had the a/c on engine running when you checked the pressure switch
2 have you checked pin 85 to see if its grounding when a/c is turned on(if you jumped 30&87 on your relay spot like you said you did and nothing happened most likely rules this part out)
3 and you said the ground is good, have you happened to check the ground wire off the comp connector, as in put multi meter probe in the ground wire slot of the connector clip, then the other probe to a good known ground or where that wire grounds to?(make sure theres no power present anywhere when checking resistance)
