If it is low on refrigerant it will not come on. Check the charge.

Or the low pressure switch is bad. I had to change mine this year. Its about 5 bucks. Try bypassing it and see if you get power to the comp.

That takes a set of gauges used by AC guys. But you can get a can of refrigerant and stick some in while the AC is switched on and if it starts up, it was under charged. Beyond that, you should consult a professional auto AC guy
