Refrigerant has several jobs...even in winter....but a question, please. 200

I am continuing to enjoy and love my brick, but as with all current and past vehicles, I turn on the air conditioner each month for about 10-fifteen minutes during the Winter months. This I was taught when I first started owning and maintaining automobiles. It lets the refrigerant function as a lubricant as well as it's initially-intended purpose. It keeps the seals and o-rings lubricated, therefore soft and pliable, minimizing leakage. If this was not done, there is a greater chance for (them) to dry, shrink and crack and leak.

Yesterday, I went to the Home Depot and thought it the perfect-length and time trip to do this. I turned on the a/c and there was no noise. (I had the radio off). A few more attempts provided nothing less than a concern that I would like to address now, as opposed to next Summer. So, I trust you kind and knowledgeable folks I have come to know and respect may come forward with a few steps I might take to see what's causing this.

Oh, and not to beat a dead sensor, but this little brick runs so sweet and doesn't die any more thanks to my, at your urging, replacing the CPS, the Fuel pump relay and the complete 25amp fuse assembly. I'll never know what one (or more) culprit was responsible, but it is easily one of the best $100.00 I have spent lately. Anyway, thanks for your help with this.
