Start by checking the refrigerant charge level. A set of A/C gauges will tell you if your charge is too low which will in fact cause the compressor to NOT engage. I suggest you start there. Go for the easy stuff first

I have the exact same problem on my 01 Z, went to check the pressure in the A/C system and found zero, zip nada. Haven't yet investigated to find out where the charge went, but will report back when I find the cause.

Is the A/C light on the control lighting up? Does it flash and go out? Any codes?
