Default AC compressor

Just tried turning my AC on and its not engaging. I don't hear it kick on or see the compressor spinning. I can spend it freely by hand but just won't engage. Could my compressor be dead or am I low on freon?

Likely low on R134A. Buy a gauge set and hook up!

Thanks mostly likely have a shop do that and check for leak. But just Incase anybody know where to find pressure switch to engage the clutch? Can’t find anything online for the location.

its located on the driver side just behind the grille. Just remove the one strip plastic covering the top of the grille by the hood latch.
