Do not jump the pressure switch.

From reading the other forum it appears that you're not very experienced with electrical work. It may be better off to find (i.e. pay) someone local to look at your car in person.

It seems that through percussive maintenance, you have already tested it.

Replace the switch.

That's a different problem. If the condenser fan is running, it is usually because the IACV is dirty and the engine can't idle strong enough to handle the load of the compressor.

It is looking more and more like your control panel is bad that's why the A/C doesn't run all the time.
