Post A/C not kicking on, what could it be?

I know the compressor isn't kicking on, I can't hear the clutch kicking out, it just blows air inside. Could it be a fuse or is there a switch that controls it?
Anyone dealt with this before?

I just checked the fuse and it's OK.
Could it be the relay?
I will check it tommorow for low freon, does anybody know where the high pressure switch is?

Sounds like low freon. Check the low side, not the high side.

I don't remember what year your car was ,but try this: open the glove box and look for the A.C. wires that were pinched by the glove box. it only should take you three minutes. I forget what color the wire is but you should be able to figure it out. Hope this helps!!

Low freon!!! Almost a sure bet....if it were pinched wires you almost certainly would have at least some warning beforehand as I assume you HAD A/C and then lost it. The real funk will be where did you lose your cool (freon)? Hope it ain't at the evap. core.
