ac won`t engage

[kenjr]

after running all last summer with no problem,i kept it off a few months.I was told to start it every once in a while to keep compressor oiled.The last time i tried to turn it on,about a week ago,it would not engage.the little ac lite came on but no cold air.I generally hear a little click before it starts and then a slight engine lug,but now nothing..any help would be appreciated. thanks

How cold is it there? If it's under 36* it won't engage.

Could also be the old low on freon...compressor clutch wont kick on if its low...Good thing you can get 134a pretty much anywhere these days

Then he would have a leak somewhere

I have a feeling Slutty Smuty is correct on the temp. Greg was oddly obsessing over his clutch the other day and...same issue. In the middle of the frozen winter, it wouldn't work.
