how do i fix my ac?.....?

ok so my 98 blazer's ac dosent work, it hasn't worked for 2 years and we didn't really need it. but now i live in hawaii and want some ac. i turned on the ac and i noticed the pump never came on. so i'm guessing its electrical, i tried checking the relay but since its been a while since auto shop i cant quite remember how to do it, but between contacts 1 and 2 its 85 ohms, i compared it to another one and it was the same. i also swapped the relays with the horn and it worked on the horn circuit. any ideas on what else to check and how to do it?

Update:

i shipped my car here cause i'm in the military and got stationed in hawaii, it was my only car and couldnt afford a new one, unless your saying you want to buy a new for me???? toyota FJ please.

    The aircon compressor is supplied via a pressure switch in the air con system. When there's low or no refrigerant, the compressor won't run so that's probably the problem here. I'd have it refilled & leak tested as it's been out of order for a while.

    The AC compressor won't come on if it's low on freon. If it's not been used in 2 years, I suspect it's low. AC that doesn't run for a long period of time is prone to get leaks at the connections where the o rings can dry out and crack. I would almost bet it's low on freon.
