Re: 97' A/C Question

Yes . If the AC system is down on pressure and/or empty the compressor will not engage.

Have the system tested to see if any pressure is in the system and if so you may only require a re-gas. If no pressure then the system has a leak or has been discharged at some point.

Prime targets for leaks are:

Compressor shaft seal.

Condensor damage from stones etc.

Corroded alloy pipe work.

The low pressure switch would be my last suspect.
