Just wanting to make sure everything is good for the summer days. Last summer I went in to a valvoline to get my a/c recharged and they said they couldn't. The compressor wasn't working. What would cause the compressor to just NOT kick in. I HAVE checked fuses.

It's low on R-134, it's got a pressure switch and if it's got low pressure it won't cycle the compressor.
You could have a very minor leak so it's just low of it could have a larger leak which menas repair time, you're going to have to get it diagnosed.
If it's a minor leak it may be able to be refilled, if it's not you'll be buying parts.

If you have an 8mm socket and a flat head, remove the bolt that holds the a/c clutch plate on. Be careful when you remove it because there is a shim in the inside of the plate(around the bolt). Chances are if you have a leak its the front compressor seal. Pretty easy to install, but you have to remove the compressor.
