StarCool is not cooling.

My starcool quite cooling and also my Ford a/c system(I know the starcool has to work for the Ford to work). I hear the starcool cycling but warm air is all that comes out. Where is the reset button?

It's a small black relay with a whimpy peg button on top? I've tried resetting that but with no luck.
Would there be some other fuse I should be looking at?

Our AC (both factory air and StarCool) started putting out just cool (not cold) air at maybe 50,000-60,000 miles (just a guess) and I took it into Ford and they recharged the system which helped. However, last month (at 90,000), both systems were barely working. Ford checked it out and 1) the hoses were old and cracked which allowed all of the coolant to leak out and 2) the compressor was failing. The replaced the compressor and hoses (very expensive) but it is working like new now...
