96 tahoe ac not working

[quacklxgic]

Decided I wanted AC today since its finally gotten hot in Georgia, thought all it needed was freon but turns out I dont think thats the case. AC compressor isnt kicking on at all. Blower sometimes doesnt blow but when it does it blows hot air only. AC button and middle button dont light up either but the far left button on the climate control module still does. Checked all fuses and relays i can think of andnothing. Would love to just take it to an AC specialist but i'm moving soon and just dont have the money.

Pull the connector at the receiver drier/accumulator and use a paper clip or something to cross the wires of the connector and report back if the compressor does come on.

Before the paper clip test try a test light and see if there is any power at the connector. The blower doing the sometimes thing leads me to believe the connector on the HVAC control might be melted, common problem.
