Can be something as simple as a bad ac cycling switch or a ac control relay/clutch coil, etc. this should be checked by a shop that is familair in performing ac repairs as the ac system is under pressure and dangerous if you are not familiar with working on it. You can try checking for power to the cycling switch on the ac accumulator and jumping the connecotr and se if the compressor comes on.if it does the switch is bad or the system is low on freon and you would have to check for a freon leak.
