Default A/C problem!!

my a/c all of a sudden stop working.. The heat works and all the fans speeds work as well, but it doesnt blow cold air.

I did notice that when i turn the a/c on i use to hear the clutch kick on when it use to work, but now i dont hear anything.

could i have a bad a/c compressor.. how much would that cost?

Clutches are really simple, and they rarely quit working. If you don't hear it engage when you turn the AC on, it's probably a relay, switch, or wiring.

well i had 3pc pulley set installed, but i never checked to see if my a/c worked cuz it wasnt needed. all the pulleys are installed correctly and the belts are on there properly

i havent really used my a/c much since i got my car.. so do u think i would just need a a/c recharge to fix my problem. i only got 38k on my car

You should have a single wire that connects to the compressor to trigger the clutch, it could have been disconnected when you got your pullies done.
