I am not sure about your model, but I heard the relays can go bad, it happened to my other Acura.

If your A/C system has a leak and/or low on refrigerant, the compressor will not engage.

Also check the fuses if you haven't already.

Generally if it out of warranty I find a good local shop. As was indicated above, low or no refrigerant keeps the compressor from starting. The owners manual has the relay/fuse locations.
