Nothing to reset the A/C. This requires diagnostics to find out why the compressor isn't engaging. Could be low refrigerant, high pressure, bad clutch, blow fuse, etc. See this post for a checklist of things that prevents AC cluth from engaging. https://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/compressor-clutch-not-engaging/
