The AC compressor is not kicking in on 2002 Cavalier and a problem with the fuses - what could be?

There could be a few reasons why the air conditioning (AC) compressor is not kicking in on your 2002 Cavalier. One possible cause could be a problem with the fuses. Here are a few things to check:

1. Check the AC compressor fuse: Locate the AC compressor fuse in the fuse box. It should be labeled as "AC" or "Compressor." Make sure the fuse is not blown. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage.

2. Check the AC relay fuse: In addition to the main AC compressor fuse, there may also be a separate fuse for the AC relay. This fuse is usually located near the AC compressor or the fuse box. Make sure this fuse is not blown either.

3. Check the wiring: Inspect the wiring harness that connects the AC compressor to the relay and the fuse box. Make sure there are no loose connections or damaged wires.

If all the fuses are intact and the wiring looks okay, the problem may be with the AC compressor itself or other components such as the pressure sensors, the expansion valve, or the refrigerant level. In this case, it is best to consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
