Once you turn on the A/C, get a test light and see if there is power going to the clutch coil. If so the coil might be shot. If there is power use a screwdriver or something and push on the front of the clutch hub to see if it will engage. If there is no power to the clutch coil, unplug the switch on the drier and jump the wires together to and see if that makes the clutch engage. If it does either you are still low on freon or the switch is bad.

Also check the relay underneath the mass air meter.. My wires melted there.. Replaced the wires and plugged it back in.. Now it works great..
