Check the freon, if there isn't enough it won't engage, could also be the low pressure switch or a fuse.

SOURCE: A/C - compressor clutch won't engage

Your A/C system has a pressure sensor. If the system needs recharged, the compressor will not engage.

SOURCE: AC system, compressor not engaging.

Sounds like your a/c system is low on freon, system has a low pressure switch which disables a/c compr.so that it don't damage a/c compr, it would be kind of like running an engine with on oil it would damage an engine, what needs to be done is have dye injected in to a/c system to be able to fine the leak, once leak is found can be repaired and recharge with freon, system will work good after repair has been done.Good luck

SOURCE: Air conditioning won't engage

To reset your AC compressor, you need to remove power for at least 15 minutes. After you reconnect, the compressor should turn on. If it does, immediately turn to high and try to add refrigerant. Best of luck.

the control unit is no good.i had a similar situation with a 98 tracker,and installed a switch to give it a ground for the compressor relay that comes from the a/c computer module.
it works good and goes on and off with the a/c switch.

99 s40 volvo air con fully replaced but still not blowing cold air

Your compressor may not be engaging, could be activation switch, a relay or the compressor itself if you do not hear it engage when activating A/C.

My 2005 Audi A4 engine have idling problem when aircon is on

Sounds like the compressor is failing or seized (for the air con). This would put extra pressure on the system. It could be another fault with the air con system like the solenoids not opening up to allow the flow of gas in the system.

You may have freon in system but compressor won't engage unless it's full under pressure. By jumping the the relay you're doing damage to compressor by running on low pressure. Have system evacuated and recharged to proper amount of freon - usually 4 lbs of freon

Strange Problem Bravo Ute Air Conditioning

the blower motor has no affect on the AC system,
start the engine and turn on AC and watch the AC compressor to see if clutch engages,if it doesn't the system isn't full,if you are correct the clutch should be engaged and should quit when you change heater speeds,

Air con pump not engauging

Hi:

You should verify that your AC system still has a full charge of refridgerant, and if it does,
The problem is most likely the AC clutch assembly on the front of the compressor.

Since the dash light works, and the fan turns on, there is power to the system, but the compressor won't turn on if the pressure switch says the charge is low, and if you turn the switch, and someone can hear a click of the compressor clutch solenoid, but no air, the clutch assembly is probably the culprit

Air condition pump does not work ,Clutch does not engage on pump.Is there a fuse for this

THERE IS A FUSE,HOWEVER MORE COMMONLY YOUR SYSTEM IS LOW ON R12 AND CUTOFF SWITCH IS ACTIVATED. TRY JUMPING THE CONNECTOR OUT OF THE ACCUMLATOR,THERE SHOULD BE A SWITCH ON IT,PULL CONNECTOR AND WITH VEHICLE RUNNING GET A PIECE OF WIRE AND INSTALL THEM IN BOTH FEMALE TERMINALS. IF A/C CLUTCH ACTIVATES SYSTEM IS LOW OR BAD SWITCH OR BAD FIELD COIL OR CIRCUIT DAMAGED
