If you don't have access to A/C gauges, turn the ignition to ON, turn the A/C on, and jumper the pressure switch. There should be voltage at the clutch. If it does, your refrigerant is just too low to make the switch. If it doesn't engage, and you have good voltage at the clutch, the clutch is bad, or the ground is bad. If you have no voltage at the compressor with the switch jumpered, you still have electrical issues upstream.
