Weird AC Problem

This occurred many months ago. Once a month when I turn on the AC, there would be no cold air blowing, but it would work fine again the next day. It's weird because it would not work at all if it didn't work in the same day. Maybe it has something to do with a thermostat? AC Panels not working?

From your description it seems to be a faulty switch/relay; a thermostat is a fancy switch. You need someone that can use a VOM to check it out when it is not working.
Or
You can start by replacing switches/relays until the problem goes away. Start at the cheapest switch.

It could be other things such as a faulty wire, bad connection at a junction plug. Even so far as a bad blower motor and/or connection. do you know if the clutch engages when you turn on the A/C?

Good Luck

When the AC is properly working, yes, I can hear the clutch engaging. However, I won't hear the clutch engage when it's not working. I don't know for sure though, I have to wait until it occurs again.
