The system is probably low on refrigerant. The clutch cycling switch will not allow the compressor to engage if the system is low or out of refrigerant. If that's the case, the system has a leak and must be repaired, (if you want it to work). The system can then be evacuated, the proper type and amount of oil added, and recharge with the proper amount of R134a refrigerant.
