Air condition not works
The simple things to check: fuse and drive (fan) belt. With the engine running and the A/C set to on, open the hood and locate the the A/C compressor. The drive belt should be present and spinning the sheave on the compressor. With the A/C set to on, a built in solenoid couples the spinning sheave to the compressor's shaft. If only the outer sheave is spinning, the solenoid is not energized.
A missing drive belt would need to be replaced to work the A/C compressor. If missing altogether, could indicate a bigger problem (seized compressor, etc.). Installing a replacement belt is usually not that expensive.
An open, blown or missing A/C fuse in the car's fuse block can cause this, as could a defective solenoid (not a common occurrence) in the sheave or a low refrigerant charge level (pretty common problem). Only the fuse is something you can check easily. An automotive A/C mechanic will need to service the solenoid or recharge the refrigerant however. Be aware that a refrigerant system is designed to be sealed. If refrigerant has been lost, there's a leak. Small, slow leaks are acceptable, but you don't want to be spending $100 or more every season (or less) to recharge the system. Locating and repairing the leak will cost a little more money up front, but should save you from constantly recharging the system.
Good luck!
