Default A/C, Check VSC

I noticed that my a/c wasn't working to it's full potential. When the car is idling, even for a brief second at a stop light, the vents would blow warmer air. I hadn't had a recharge in a while and figured I was low on refrigerant. I bought a can and when I was filling it up, I noticed my condenser was clicked off for about 2 seconds, clicked on for 1 second, and clicked back off and it did this until I turned my car off. While it was clicking, I noticed a small spark in the fuse box. I then proceeded to use a paper clip to relay the clutch thinking that I was so low on refrigerant that it wasn't even registering.

After trying that, the condenser won't turn on at all now, my vents are only blowing warm air. To top it off, my Check VSC, traction, and check engine light are all illuminated.

Hoping someone out there has any solutions or suggestions before I take my 07 is250 to the dealership and fork over my savings account.
