A/C compressor no switching on, can it be a frozen clutch? Fuses are all good.

It can be a bad switch in the control unit, broken wire, bad clutch, lack of refrigerant, bad low pressure switch. This could be diagnosed easily by a shop that does A/C work and it will be cheaper to do so rather than throwing parts at it.
