1995 Ford Probe GL mileage: 75,000.I live in Minnesota where you don't use the air conditioner during the summer. Last week it finally got warm enough. When I try to activate it nothing happens. Well, something does happen. If the car is at idle, it will rev up slightly as if the car is expecting to be bogged down. That's it.I don't hear the compressor engage and I don't hear the engine bog down.I've checked the fuses. The A/C was working fine last summer.I'm willing to have it looked at by a professional, but want to exhaust my own options first.

Your air-conditioning system may be low on Freon. The compressor will not engage if the system is low on Freon due to the low-pressure cut-off switch.

You don't have too many DIY option on A/C repairs. You may even be lucky to even find someone in your area that is knowledgeable on A/C diagnosis. Many think it's easy but usually run into unexpected problems. It can be dangerous to work on and you can do a lot more damage than you already have very easily.
