You may have a pressure switch that disables the compressor if the system pressure is too low. You can add some refrigerant with the compressor off to get above the pressure required to activate the safety switch. When adding with the car turned off, open both hi and low valves on the guage set until the pressure is at least 30psi or so. MAKE SURE to close the high side valve prior to turning on the compressor. If this doesn't solve the problem it may be a fuse or bad relay.
