    Probably needs a charge. See a repair facility. If the charge is too low the compressor can't kick on.
    I work on vehicles that make 650hp and 2400ft/lbs.

    did you check the belt to make sure it was spinning when the AC was switched on? In my 04 the pulley got schredded.

    Maybe because I check it with a gauge from autozone and it came up to be low so maybe thats the problem. Not enought psi to kick it? I know this is a dumb question but how do you charge?

    It's not a dumb question. It's probably not relevant yet though.

    The refill kit you can purchase will have charge instructions, and the better ones will have disposable pressure indicators (a cheap gauge of some sort) to let you know when the pressure is correct. However, that won't solve your problem. Your problem, if the pressure is not low, is that there's a leak in the system. You need to find the leak.

    Look for oil residue around the connections in the system, and look for a leak detection kit locally or online if you want to DIY. Otherwise, take the car to an A/C shop.

    personally i would not recommened the "home refill kit"....it kind of irks me that they only supply you with a gauge for the low pressure side...so theres no real way to keep tabs on the high pressure side unless you buy your own set of gauges....kind of dangerous if you ask me....
