Ac problem

Hello, I'm having an issue with my ac in my 04 E320. I accidentally pulled the fuse out of the side dash panel and ac shut off. I put it back in, but air would not come back on. The light on the ac off button came on. I had system charged, codes erased, and then ac off light turned off but recycle button light came on. I still have no ac. Compressor is not turning on. Does anyone have any ideas ??

Check the codes and read the sensor values. Do you have climatronic with LCD ?

No lcd. Just the dual zone , automatic or manual control. I'm not showing any codes. That's the stumper.

"No showing codes" means you have DAS or equivalent.
Read the sensors values and post here.
I can do it on my LCD, so can't help you how to navigate those on scanner.

Went back over system, everything is working like normal. Blower is running, fan is coming on when ac button is turned on, indicator lights are functioning. All is normal except compressor is not turning on. I thought it might be because of freon being low but you can't put more in with it not running. No codes showing up , so how to reset it or charge it up with it not coming on ??? Anybody , any info would be greatly appreciated. .

What you mean compressor not turning?
On those cars compressor do not have clutch, so they have to turn all the time.
Also there is no freon.
Did you check the refrigerant pressure?
