If your parking brake is on/set they don't come on until it's off. That's how my 08 Si works. Otherwise, check fuse box (not sure if it's under the hood or under driver side dash) or the bulbs themselves may need replaced. Barring that broken wire ight be the last culprit. Work in the order i wrote, basically easiest to hardest to fix/troubleshoot.

Try pounding on the gas tank with a rubber mallet or similar tool. (careful not to dent the tank) Try starting it. If it runs, replace the fuel pump (it's nfg). I've diagnosed numerous fuel pumps this way. Remember the pump needs to be replaced, if you drive it, you don't know when it'll fail for good. Hope this helps. Please post the results.

Air conditioning systems sometimes leak down and won't turn on when the refrigerant levels are too low.
Lift the hood and listen to the A/C compressor while someone inside the car turns it on.
Does the compressor engage for a second or two and then shut off?
If it does....you need to have your system checked for leaks and recharged.
If the compressor never comes on. Look at the A/C compressor relay. It should be under the hood in a little fuse box with other relays and fuses. When you find this relay you need to see if it works. You can buy a replacement relay and swap it or take it to a parts store and have it checked. Relays are 10-30 dollars and you should have three or four relays of the same type so a real cheap test is to swap a identical relay from an electric window or a defroster. You should see them sitting right next to the A/C relay if you have them.
Good luck and be careful!
