Inpa should see a dud low pressure sensor but I would start there else if you have high and low pressure gauge attached hot wire the clutch to start it. Recently I charged a suburban that wouldn't let the compressor kick on. Was a bad low switch. A paperclip cheated the switch closed to test charge the system and make sure the compressor was good before replacing the sensor.
