Default Little AC help needed

When I turn the AC , there's nothing happening. I checked all the fuses and they look good. Is there somewhere else I need to look? Any ideas? It was working before. The only thing I've changed since last tryin the AC was a new CD Player.

IF THE FREON CHARGE IS LOW THE LOW PRESSURE SWITCH WILL NOT ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR TO TURN ON

Hmmmm....Ok, just so that I'm 100% clear on what you're saying...when I turn the AC Switch to MAX AC / Normal AC and absolutely NOTHING happens (no air blows or anything), it could be that the Freon Charge is low? So just get it filled with Freon and it should start blowing?

If the system needs recharging I'd check for a leak. Possibly 1 or more of the O-rings have given out.

Theblower fan should still come on even if the compressor dosent. Does fan come on in vent or heat mode? Sounds like a bad switch.

I know the condenser has a leak. I'm getting a new one this week, but I figured the blower or something should come on in any event. Absolutely nothing is happening.

You need to check to see why the blower is not working. Unplug the blower and check to see if you have power and ground there. Then back track from there. Does anything else electrically not work in the car?

Year of the car and model would be helpful as well.

Where is the blower?
Everything else is working fine in the car.
