Even if the system is low on refrigerant, the condenser fan should run when you push the A/C button. Check for blown fuses and bad relay. A bad heater control panel is something else to consider.

Don't add any refrigerant to the system until you connect a manifold gauge set to measure the pressures on the low and high sides.

Are you saying that the compressor clutch engages? If not, the problem is not just the fan.

no i got some wire and wired the red cable from the condenser fan to the positive battery
and i grounded the black wire from the condenser fan and it does turn on . so i know its not the fan motor that is out cus it works so i dont know why the condenser fan doesnt turn on when i press the a/c button everything seems to be good.. i was reading an article and it said if your low on refrigerant that (most systems have a low-pressure safety cutout that will disable the compressor if there isn't enough refrigerant in the system). so i might go buy me a bottle of refrigerant and recharge my ac see if it works

Low refrigerant would not prevent the fan from running but would prevent the clutch from engaging.

Use a multimeter to test fuses #13 and #35 and both (fan & clutch) relays. If those are fine, test the A/C thermostat in the evaporator and the heater control panel. These are items that would keep the fan and clutch from working.
