My air conditioning does not work, the switch light turns on but the compressor does not kick on. I changed the compressor and it worked for like two days and all of the sudden it just stoped working. I checked all of the fuses and they are all good. What can you diagnose from that?

You will have to get the system pressures check, also check if there is power at the compressor, and try jumping power to the compressor to see if it is working.

Ok so by jump starting you mean rum wires and connect it directly to the battery right? And it has pressure my uncle did a full scan on the compressor.

First see if you have power at the compressor, and if not, you will have to trouble shoot back, but you will need to make sure that the system has sufficient refrigerant and the clutch is working first.
