With bypassing the trinary switch the clutch engaged . This obviously indicates your not getting the trinary switch making a contact to engage the clutch
So looks like your going to have to take to a specialist or at least get some gauges on the refrigerant system to check the pressure . If the system pressure is within the switch parameters and the switch not making then I would suggest your trinary switch is faulty but my gut instinct is you have a leak somewhere on the system and your pressure has dropped below the switch set point .Obviously volume will create pressure . If it is a faulty switch or you have got a leak, the system is going to have to be recovered to carry out the repair anyway
Reading your post when you had your refrigerant re charged and no leaks found , did the technician check the Schrader valves on removing the gauges as they are a known leak point on all refrigeration systems
