Answer
You will need to get a manifold gauge set installed  to check the pressures.  If you do not have one then go to a mechanic and have him get you the pressures.  Your cycling switch is on the accumulator at the fire-wall this switch should have power going and out when you have enough refrigerant is the system.  If the system has no refrigerant then the switch will not let the compressor come on.
