Default AC stopped working out of the blue

Well, a couple weeks ago I recharged my AC and it was working great. Then all of a sudden it stopped working all together. The fuses are fine, it has had 2 different relays in it. I put dilectric grease on the plugs and nothing. Does this mean that the compressor is shot?

Thanks

do you have a set of A/C gauges? you need to know if it is still charged and if so then there is something else wrong. could be a pressure switch or something simple. to check you compressor to see if its locked up. make sure you do this with the engine OFF. try to turn the clutch with your hand or a socket in the center. you should feel it "bump" so to speak. if it turns than its not locked up. when the engine is running and the a/c is on, does the clutch engage?
