There is no Freon in the system so the compressor won’t kick in. Go get Freon and refill it. Get one with sealer and UV light one so that you can track down where it leaked out
Please don't do this, get an off-the-shelf "refill" kit.
HVAC systems are sealed systems, which should never need "refilling". The R134a in these does not "wear out" or need "topped off". If the refrigerant gas has indeed leaked out, there is a more serious issue at hand, and any "sealant" that may be in the can is a temporary fix at best, and will almost certainly cause damage that could have been avoided if you had taken it to a qualified HVAC tech to diagnose and properly repair. Also, there is a specific quantity of compressor oil required for different compressors, and those cans have no way of knowing what they're being installed in, and take a "one size fits all" approach to oiling.
Off-the-shelf kits are ok if you're driving a '98 Kia that's falling apart anyway. But if you plan on keeping the car for any length of time, your best bet is to get it serviced by a qualified tech.
