AC Compressor not turning on..any ideas?
So when I push the A/C button, the green light comes on, but the compressor doesn't kick on. I'm getting air blowing from the vents, but not cooled.
Any ideas why the compressor wouldn't kick on? I checked the fuses and they are good.

Have you checked the voltage and electrical continuity of the AC system's pressure switches?
If switches are good, and the compressor can be jumped to check proper clutch actuation, typically it means the refrigerant level is too low.
The system will not cycle with too low or too high level of refrigerant in the system.

If you've got the automatic climate control system, selection of the A/C ("snowfake") button in the "AUTO" mode does not necessarily kick on the compressor. I believe that the compressor will only cycle on according to the programming schedule, which is probably based on temperature and humidity levels.
Try deselecting "AUTO" or running the thermostat (temperature displayed on the HVAC console) down.
