ac unit problems issues blows hot compressor not running

Hello,
its seems after reading many issues on the ac air conditioner on the LS, people seem to avoid the answers or suggestions. Maybe if I put it in more detail someone will catch the drift and find a problem to this ongoing problem.
My 2000 LS which by the way is a joy to ride  is a 3.9L V8.
The ac blows hot air with the setting at maxium cooling. Now I have the dual control temp. I have searched up and down for the low side valve and is still MIA thinking it could be low on R-134a (freon). Now after reading endless forums I heard it may be an electrical problem. The compressor does no sound when turning on the ac. Has anyone had this type of problem and have you solved it already?
I thank you in advance.

If it's low on refrigerant the compressor won't turn on - there's a low pressure safety switch for that. If it is low on refrigerant you need to check for leaks and that requires shop tools - not a DIY thing. You don't want to just refill it with R-134a because it will just leak out again. Just take it to a mechanic and have it checked.

If you want to check your charge to confirm that you have no refrigerant or whatever, the low side port is under the car, attached to the bottom of the compressor. I don't recall if the cap was right there when you looked up or if something had to be removed, it's been 3-4 years since I checked mine. If you have no charge in there, you probably will need to have the system evaluated to see where the leak is. If it is slowly leaking to the point of staying charged for a couple of years, then you should be able to top it off. If you hear the fan start to turn really fast while recharging it, you may be overcharged, and will need to have some refrigerant removed in an environmentally-friendly manner.

The elements are probably broken - common problem with the 2000 models. Tricky to replace because of the seat mounted side airbags. Dealer will charge around $300. Upholstery shop may charge less.
