Default A/C problem

Hi I have a 95 mustang Gt 5.0 litre and the A/C clutch is not kicking on. The fuses and relays are good. Wire at the compressor is connected. Tried filling with freon it wouldnt take much(still didnt kick on) Switch in the car seems to work what could it be?

Also the blower is blowing air just hot air since the clutch on the compressor is not turning.

Jump the wire at the low pressure switch and see if t runs. If Not then check for power and ground at the compressor. You really need to have a set of gauges to check the pressure in the system. Could be a number of things from a bad low pressure switch, low freon, bad AC clutch, Open in the wiring, etc, etc.

before even jumping he switch I'd check the a/c pressures to see if it's ;low on freon

It was just the first thing I thought of. In my mind I could see him standing beside the car with one of those AutoZone "Self charge kits" hahaha!!!!
