In all Fords of the 90's the biggest single reason the AC compressor doesn't kick in is because the refridgerant charge has leaked out due to a defective compressor shaft seal and the "O" rings connections of the AC line seals near the conndensor.

before going hitech check system pressures, pressure switches and ofcourse fuses. comp will work once energised even with no freon in system. a/c module can go bad but rarely.

Your A/C pressure switch may have gone bad or the wire harness to it may have gone bad. The switch is along the low pressure line or on the A/C Accumulator ( looks like a silver canister) , Unplug the wire and you can jump it there and see if the clutch comes on, if it does try spreading the two tabs apart on the switch and clipping the wire back on. If it does not come back on you need to replace the switch, you can do it with out loosing to much R134A. Just got to be quick when you remove the old one and placing the new one. The low side should have a reading of 30PSI to 50PSI and the high side should have 150PSI to 200PSI. Any other reading will give you poor A/C performance. Good luck and hope this helps.
