Like Russ was saying, if the system doesnt have enough pressure in it (not enough refrigerant/oil) the compressor wont turn on. There is a pressure sensor switch on top of the compressor that detects it. You can check to see if the compressor is good but jumping the switch, but again, thats just to check if the compressor is good and clutch will engage. DO NOT RUN IT THAT WAY, fastest way to fry your compressor.
