Default 98 durango ac problem

Ok, well, I have a 98 dodge Durango like everyone else here. Haha... Anyhow, my ac simply will not blow out cold air. Only hot air or the outside tempurature. The thing next to the big fan on my engine will cycle, I think it's called a compressor, it's by the pully belts. I also refilled the valve with freon and the pressures normal. I see no gauges that are on and I also notice no unusual noises. Help would be greatly appritiated.
Thank you to all who help

it sounds to me like you have a freon (refrigerant) leak, causing the refrigerant to be low, and the compressor to not engage, i would take it to a shop to have it looked at just bc you really need special equipment to work on the refrigerant lines correctly

The compressor is cycling so it should be cooling unless you have a blend door issue. Personally I think you should go to a shop and get help before you break it. A/C is not for the uneducated as you can get really hurt!

i read 'cycling' as on/off real quickly, not that it went on and stayed on for a while, so thats what my comment was based on

My clutch will not engage due to a ground problem that know one can figure out. Want to trade?
