A/C Not blowing Cold Air

[garrand3006]

My wife's 2003 Corolla LE, with 58K miles, stopped blowing cold air the other day. She started the car and turned on the A/C. It did not blow cold air. She drove home and called me to let me know about it. I checked it out when I got home and turned on the car and then the A/C and it blew ice cold air. I then pressed the button for Recirculation to turn that off and the air was still cold. I waited a minute or two and then turned off the A/C button. Then the car started blowing hot air. I then pressed the button for the A/C and the compressor did not kick back on. I pressed the button for Recirculation and the car continued to blow hot air. I turned both off and obviously the result was hot air. I tried several times to get the air to blow cold and nothing seemed to work. I then checked the fuse panel under the hood looking for any that might be marked as A/C or compressor and found none. I also looked under the dash and could not find any fuses marked for A/C. Any help would be appreciated. I think the problem is either a fuse or the switch for the A/C however both the A/C button and the Recirculation button light up indicating power to the switch at least.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I would sugegst checking the thermostat.

This happen to my gf's car. Her father ignored her and said it was nothing then about a month later boom her radiator went and her car over heated.

I would seriously check the thermostat.

This car should still be under warranty right? Your A/C controls are electronically/vacuum controlled swithes which means I don't thick you have levers that move from side to side. The dealer should look at this if it is under warranty

Unfortunately the bumper to bumper has expired as the car has 58K miles all that remains is powertrain and unfortunately the A/C is not covered. Thanks
