The compressor will engage in the morning and A/C will work perfectly. After the car is turned off the A/C compressor will not engage again.

I have seen the front sam control module heat up and go out causing this issue but to be sure let's do a CAN scan which goes through the entire car and shows any faults with the HVAC system. The scan is easy to do check out this guide and video. Also, I have included the A/C wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
