Default A/c compressor problems

Hello my name is desmonde having a problem with ac compressor and don't know where to start. The guy I bought it from says it has a leak but when I turn it on the ac light comes on but I hear no clicking showing that it has engaged or come on. Where do I start I seen a lot of relays on sale on eBay thinking that sc's had that problem or do I need to try to fill with freon and see wat it does.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Make sure you have correct refrigerant pressure in the system, then check your fuses both in cabin and engine compartment. If your compressor is bad then see TSIB here:
