Air conditioning not working?

hey guys, my AC doesn't work at all i think...

on cold the air is barely above normal temperature, and when set to hot some hot air comes the bottom vents but the top vents aren't hot at all

also, the defogger for the front windshield barely works at all

is this a common FD problem? I can feel the air, the problem is that the temperature does not vary, if at all.

How would you guys recommend fixing this? thanks~

Have a shop check it out...that's the best advice since they have the proper equipment to test your ac system to see if you have leaks, no RC-12 or RC-134, etc. BTW, mine doesn't work but it's on the bottom of the to do list at this moment in time. When it comes time to fix it, I'll definitely take it to a radiator shop or a place that does cooling systems all the time.

You're not running a PFC are you? I've heard some people have problems with the AC when using a PFC, though I do not.

If it hasn't been working for a while and you're used to it... Remove it maybe

There must be a family of rat living in the vent causing them to block the hot and cold air when nessasary.

Check the fuses for the AC. My friends fuse blew, and he thought something major wasnt working right. One day, I open his fuse box and behold the fuse was blown. Changed it, and nothing but cold air
