Default a/c not working

ok so i replaced my high and low pressure switches and even my ccrm (btw switched all of these out at different times) and still my a/c will not work. the compressor wont even kick on and its got freon in it. so what else could my problem be? could the compressor be bad.

Have you checked the compressor clutch coil? They don't fail often, but like anything else man creates they do once in a while...

Does the clutch even attempt to pull in, if it does then the air gap may be improperly set.

If the compressor doesn't even attempt to spin then the clutch field coil is about the last thing there is. I don't know what the specs are, but a quick resistance check with a multimeter will let you know if it's open (infinite Ω) or shorted (0.0 Ω)...

ok so i stand corrected, i just checked fuse 23 and it was blown. but i know when i went and checked previously it wasnt blown. so apparently it was the ccrm too. so i replaced the fuse and started the a/c but the compressor still didnt kick on. so i jumped the low pressure switch (the one near the condenssor) and the compressor kicked on. but the a/c is still not blowing cold. so should i try to recharge the a/c.
