There is a presure switch in the a/c system, and if the freon level gets to low the a/c won`t come on. It could be other things as well, but low freon is the most common thing that ive seen.

If i remember right, its in the a/c box under the dash, but the wiring comes out of the a/c box so you should be able to test it that way.
