Yep, so i go to turn on the air conditioning and guess what, it never got cold.... worked fine last year and there was no indication of anything breaking, so, just wondering if there might be any other reasoning for it not getting cold, and i let it run for a while so it's just not time, lol....

could be that the system has drain over the winter and is now empty and needs to be tested for leaks. or if it does have gas in it it could have elect. problem like a bad wiring, pressure switch, or a/c clutch.
 






Get some guages and see if you have any refrigerant left. It can be recharged but you will have to locate the leak and fix it first.
 






Does the clutch cycle at all?
 






yea i would check to see if the clutch engages at all. if it doesnt check pressure and make sure you arent low, because the clutch wont engages if your under 40 psi or something like that. if it does engage check pressure and make sure you are in the proper range. if you have proper pressure and its still not cold it could be a dirty condensor clogged orafice or many other things. really need more facts for a proper diagnosis.
