Default Has me stumped, could use some help

I have a 96 ram 2500 5.9 crew cab, about 3 months ago my ac stopped blowing out cold air, i checked the freon, it was 45 psi which it should be at for the temp outside when i did it, i checked to see if the condensation collector was clogged, it cleaned it out, n still no luck, the ac coil housing felt cool to the touch so it seems like that is still working, the vents blow out somewhat cool, but no where near where the a/c should be typically, any help would be much appreciated

Is the fan speed normal or low when on hi? Does the compressor work?

Check that turning the temp control **** actually moves the blend door...... the axle for it sticks out just a hair bit right above the trans tunnel, on the passenger side. If you contort yourself around, you can actually see it. Put your finger in it, and turn the temp control ****, see if the axle moves.

It's a 96, so if anyone wants to find the post I made about checking/adjusting the cable, have at it. LOL

I took apart the dash and took off the control console to see if the temp control door moves and it does move still...is it supposed to go all the way till the end of the axle
