Two small issues after taking a long trip

Just got done with two 8 hour long drives and found one small issue and one larger/more concerning issue.

Small issue is that sometimes when I go to turn my AC on, it will not turn on and no air blows out. Other times it will turn on and blow out air but the air isn't cold. Is my AC compressor bad or does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

The larger and more concerning issue that came up is with my brakes. Sometimes if I am making a sharp turn and braking(turning into my driveway for example) my breaks start pumping basically and I lose lots of breaking power. Also if I am braking and hit a bump this will happen. I am at a loss for what is causing this so any help would be greatly appreciated!
 


Alright, I will take it to a shop tomorrow to have them scan the abs.

As for the clutch, I will look at that tomorrow as well
 
Just talked to a place by my house and they said it is pointless to come in and get it scanned because my car is not throwing up any codes and no lights are on(no abs light or anything). My aeroforce gauge is not showing any codes either but idk if that is the same time or scanning as when you scan the abs.(I have never heard of scanning the abs but I dont know all that much so this is new to me)

Going to check the clutch now to make sure it engages when I turn on the AC
 
The clutch does not engage and spin when the AC is turned on. So I should check fuses and refrigerant level and if those are good my compressor went out correct? Anything I am missing? First time dealing with AC
 
if your a/c sucked last year its likely low on freon, you can buy a recharge can and fill it yourself, if it starts to work again you know it has a leak. and will likely stop working again soon after the recharge.

the abs stores codes in history so even if the light is off now, if it was on theres a code stored from it. my car had pages of codes stored in the abs.
 


I haven't had a light go on in my car in the almost 4 years I have owned it now but I will take it in to see if they can pick up on something my aeroforce did not.

Also, I just checked my fuses, relays, and the AC clutch diode. The diode did not make my fuse tester light up saying it is still good like it did with my fuses. Since it is a diode, I am not sure if it would make the fuse tester light up when pressed against the two prongs. Do you know if the diode is bad since it didnt light up or would diode not make fuse testers light up?
