Is the blower blowing air into the cab? If so, either check the freon level or have it checked thats where I would start, it could just be low. Autozone sells a recharge kit for like $35, it includes the gauge and 1 can of freon.

No air at all from blower? . Turn **** for air - no air no ac. hit ac button and seems like it wants to kick in but maybe blower not working.

Does the fan work on vent or heat? I would say is the blower or blower switch if you have no air at all. Have someone in the cab, and find the ac pulley. Have them start the car and turn on the ac. If the clutch engages and pulley starts to turn, then you don't have a leak.

Took to autoshop and they found it to be the blower motor resistor. Saw the part and was corroded and broken.

Thanks for all the help .
