It will not engage when I turn it on. It turns on when it wants. I had it check for leaks when I had it recharged. They use dye when checking for leaks. When it turns on it works great. I have replaced the blower motor and the on switch.

    There can be several things that can allow or prohibit the A/C compressor from turning on, and it varies from vehicle to vehicle. If the system is full of refrigerant, then all the inputs and outputs to the control module that controls the compressor the compressor needs to be checked.
