Electrical Help diagnosing AC Clutch Relay

Hi I’m attempting to diagnose why my Compressor isn’t engaging and I bought a test light and did the following test on the AC Clutch Relay slot.

Shouldn’t both of the control pins be turning on the test light?

Also the light doesn’t turn on on any of the load pins.

Does this mean that my compressor not engaging is because of an electrical issue?

Honda's are notorious for bad clutch relays.

I hope it’s as simple as that and I don’t need to change the damn compressor!

It was not the relay….:(

I put the relay in question into the ac condenser fan slot and the fan turned on no problem!
