If you take it to a company which does air con, they can service they system and tell you why it doesn't work. Most of the time it's because it's run out of gas. So when you push the button nothing happens to stop the compressor from breaking

There's no gain to physically removing components because the compressor has a clutch. Also, as above, get it checked out. Re-gassing air con should be done regularly anyway, and the fault could be something as simple as a blown fuse.

The compressor clutch won't kick in if there is lack of gas because the pressure sensors on the system won't let it damage the compressor, regas it jobs a goodun, unless there's a leak but you can have it checked as said above ...jordey
