Default Heating / AC

Today I'm driving through town and my girlfriend is complaining about how hot it is so I decided I would turn on the A/C for her. Well I try to turn it on and get nothing. No air blowing out of the vents at all, not even a minute amount. Tried all different things and can't get the heat or AC to blow air. Any idea what it could be? I checked the fuses and they are all good.

Probably need a recharge. Problem is that yur car uses R12, is expensive and no longer sold to the general public.

It was just recharged. It was working find earlier in the day, then when I tried it again,I get no air blowing out. Hot, cold, nothing... no matter how high I turn it on. It's been converted to R134 or whatever it is. System is fine and free of leaks. I just don't get any air blowing out of the vents.

If fuses are good then it is possible to have bad blower motor or jammed blower, bad switch, loose wire or cut wire, resistor pack totally fried.

'95 is r134. If you know it's leaking you can buy some ultraviolet dye to put in the system. Run it for a while and shine a blacklight on it to see where it's leaking. If you want to check if it needs recharged, just hook up a pressure gauge to the suction side of the compressor. Auto parts stores have these gauges, and they're simple to use.
