Does the aux. fan come one once the engine temp is high enough for it to come one?
Does the compressor come on even momentarily? (at the instant you push the A/C button).
Did the system cool well before it stopped working, or was there some degredation prior?

Thanks Larry.
I just checked a couple more things.
The aux. fan wouldn't come on at all, regardless of engine temperature. But I just unplugged the temperature sensor and it came right on. So I assume it is a bad sensor. Sound reasonable?
I was incorrect in stating that the compressor does not engage at all. It engages for about 3-5 seconds and then stops. Then it takes a restart of the engine to get the compressor to engage again.
Could this be anything other than low refrigerant levels?
I don't know if it cooled well before. I bought this car in inoperable condition around September last year. It had been donated to charity and sold at an auction (where I bought it) so I don't have any information from the previous owner. I'm just now getting it on the road.
