Well my Air conditioning shoots out nice, nice hot air.. It feels wonderful with the weather we've been having recently.......... not

Thought it maybe just needed recharged, so I recharged it, did nothing.....

Seems like the AC compressor isn't kicking on... A buddy of mine told me to just "jump it"..

What do you kiddos think I should do?

Could be a bad compressor or something on the control side of the circuit, just turn on the car and the ac, pop the hood and see if clutch for the ac is engaging. Could also be a leak in the system. Just hope that the compressor don't contaminate the ac system with metal shavings because then your looking at some expensive repairs.

Where exactly is the clutch? & i'm assuming if it is engaged, i'll be able to tell?

You may have not put enough in the system. Did you get the one with the pressure gauge on it?

Note.. The clutch DOES engage... So now what? :/Having all the windows and the sun roof down just doesn't cut it when it's 100* out :/

I'm thInking I just need to jump the ac compressor.. Any one know where exactly I can do that? Google searches say you do it on the low side, which is where you'd recharge it.. But I'm unsure as to where I should try to jump it

Take it to a shop and get it diagnosed. Not much you can do without a/c machine, or dye to find the leak or whatever, just to many things that it could be.
