Re: 2009 Vue 2.4 ac fan
Fan ground may be the problem. While you found 12v on one wire, try tracing the ground wire or a continuity test (measuring for resistance on the ground terminal to chassis).

Re: A/C Refrigerent Line Pressure Switch

Re: a/c went out randomly
If you can measure for resistance between the two pins on the compressor, it should be around 3 ohms. Be sure your multimeter reads '0' when touching probes together (when set for resistance...
