You can also search AutoZone's site for free schematics if the underhood relay and fuse location drawings from the owners manuals don't get this resolved.
With engine running and A/C called for can you jumper the low pressure cut off switch and the compressor kick in? Do you know for certain there is refrigerant under sufficient pressure for normal operation?
In our Cooling & Heating sub-forum there is a FAQ thread begun by member ProjectSHO89---he also contributes there often, is very knowledgeable about Ford's A/C systems.

The clutch won't engage if the charge is too low or too high. Normally the issue is a leak and low on Freon. if it was a gradual decline in cooling then that's almost certainly the issue. If it hasn't been used since last season and now doesn't work then it could be a leak or something else.
