AC started going out a few weeks ago. It would stop blowing cold occasionally, but I could wiggle the temp control knob to get it to work. Then it quit at stop lights, now no cold air, but the blower works. The control LED will light, but no compressor. Tried to add refrigerant with a single gauge on low side but it wouldn't take it and the gauge reads zero. Need to know where to check voltages and how to locate and jump the triple switch to see if the compressor still works

do a pressure test. You may have lost freon to the point where it will not let the compressor come on. If you do not have any gages or access to a gage, buy one of the cans of freon that has the low pressure gage attached. Make sure you get the one that has 134A with sealer. The pressure should be about 100psi not running and go down to about 60 when it is running. IF you have a slow leak and the system is low, the compressor will not come on. If you get very low or no pressure when you hook up the can, don't waste your money, have the system checked for the leak. You must vacuum the system down to 30 inches of vacuum before refilling if it is empty, and it does not good to fill it if it is just going to come back out.
Hope this helps
