Default Another A/C problem

I have a 94 2 door Accord and I was having a problem with my A/C blowing out warm air, so i thought it may need some r-134a. When i looked at the compressor, the clutch did not seem to be spinning at all, i think it is something electrical and all the fuses are ok. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Honda incorporates a compressor control switch (low pressure) which is intended to turn off power to the compressor clutch in the event of refrigerant loss (thus saving the compressor from soiling itself (bad). Adding a charge of refrigerant (or bypassing the switch) should get it to engage.
Honda also uses the Engine Temperature Sensor, thru the Engine Control Module (ECM) to disengage the compressor in the case of the engine overheating. (just something to remember)
Try a partial charge first.......

make sure under dash fuse box fuse # 8 7.5 amp is ok and underhood fuse box fuse # 34 15 amp.if fuses ok go to a/c compressor relay chk power at black/yellow and white wires they should both have power with key on ,..if they dont you got a wiring problem or bad fuses if they do start car jump wires white and red with a jumper wire if compressor comes on you got a bad relay or a possible bad groung circuit thus not energizing the relay could be a **** load of different things then .try this first and let me know what happens
