IIRC, there has to be some pressure on the system before the compressor will kick in. If you damaged a line and the sytem depressurized the compressor won't kick in unless jumper wired. I'd say run it to an A/C tech and have them diagnose it. Double check to make sure you got the plug back in first though as I left it off the first time around and it was a PITA to get on.
