Vague in your description but doubt very much if it's a loose wire

Get sum wun pushing the button whilst your under the hood & listen for the solenoide value to see if it's opening

Then pull out the switch & bridge the 2 wires going to it

That way ewe can rule out the switch if air con still wont come on

Switches tend to lose their contact ability over time & if the contacts aren't making contact then there's no power going to the solenoide

B4 doing this I'd 1st check the fuse

Pump works off a fan belt & there's no need to bother looking @ that

Trace back the gas lines till ewe find the solenoide valve there'll be 2 wires plugged into it

The 'CLICK' you used to hear would be the electric clutch activating on the front of the compressor when you turned it on.

If the air-con system is low on gas, then the compressor will not click in....i would be 99% sure that it needs a re-gas....auto electrician will check for leaks first....

It sounds like the small sensor in the gas reserviour is low meaning not enough gas to activate the compressor.
The problem you may have being the age of the car is the type of gas in it, as it may require a full empty and new refit to take the new gas which can cost a bit, unless your lucky and can find someone with the old gas.
To tell if if the gas is low have a look under the bonnet and there is a canister with a small window bubble on the top , if it has a bubble or is clear then its a refill required.

Had the same prob with my wifes odyssey, the mobile air con guy came out and said all was fine with gas pressure. Ended being a $140 bill and a relay replaced that switches on the compressor, the other relay went that turns on the thermo causing the air con to again stop working-the relay cost under $20......might be worth checking your compressor and thermo relays-usually located between the radiator and engine on the same side the air con compressor is located.

So, what was the result? Is your air con fixed and what was the cause of the prob?
