120 PSI on Low-Side of AC -- What to do? 850 1995

Mrsha, I have a similar problem. Mine was in the red a couple of days ago when I tried putting in freon and oil. Last night, after reading many Brickboard threads over past few days, I worked on it again. With the car on and the A/C on, it started in the green. I wired the switch near the valve to get the compressor to stay on. I put some freon in, going back and forth between doing so and the gauge. The gauge moved up to 45 and nothing seemed to be going in.

I can't tell if the compressor is working to "feed" in the freon or oil. I do know that when I turn on or off the A/c from inside the car, I hear a click, which I assume means the compressor is on or off.
Would it help to look at the relay behind the glove box? You mentioned that to someone?
