A/C stopped working...at the wrong time!

A/C stopped working...at the wrong time!
It is HOT!
I turned the car on and it started blowing, but then stopped. If you turn it on Max A/C and the fan on HI it does not blow out anything, not even hot air. The rear air vents blow though, just hot air. I can see the compressor kick on and off, but there is absolutely nothing coming out. I checked two of the dash fuses and they were good.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Assuming your problem is that the front blower doesn't run at ANY speed..
Check fuse F23 in the underhood fusebox (40A), the blower relay, the blower motor, the blower motor switch, and the ground.
Quickest way (if the fuse is good) is to measure the voltage at the blower motor (both terminals) with the selectords set to MAX A/C and HIGH. If no power, the problem is related to the relay and the supply. If battery voltage is on both terminals, the speed seith or the cicuit gound is the problem.
Fix the front problem first and see if it corrects the rear fault.

I had a chance to check the fuses and they were all good. So I pulled the harness that connects to the blower motor and it is getting juice to the blower motor. I grounded out the blower motor to a nearby source and it still doesnt work, so I ordered a new blower motor from Autozone ($32 w/ Lifetime Warranty). I am going to drop it in and hope it works.
Thanks!

Let us know how it turns out when you get it fixed.
