the freon in your car has leaked out and now there isnt enough pressure in the system to allow the compressor to engage. go to your local autoparts retailer and get a freon booster with stopleak. they should be able to help you with the fix.

You need to check the pressure in the ac lines first. So many possibilities of things it could be. For example: Low pressure...Bad compresser...Bad pressure sensor....Blown fuse.....Bad relay....etc.... Most repair shops will do an AC check for $50 - $100.

    Do the Fuses to the a.c. have anything to do with the cooling process. When I have my car on and turn the a.c. on it kills the motor.

    A.c. compressor isn't kicking on all the time. When it's cooler outside the a.c. runs fine, compressor kicks on. Checked all fuses, and changed the cycling switch. Full of freon.
