Off the top of my head I'd say check to make sure all the fuses and relays are good. You could have a switch that went bad from use. Fuses are by far the easiest to verify if there is a problem. Relays you just have replace and see if anything changes . How did you verify the compressor was working properly?

Do your electric fans come on? How about the HVAC blower, does it work? Your A/C might be working fine but your blower may not be working.

Then your freon has to be changed I'd say. Unless you have the same thing I had a couple of months ago. I had checked the connection under the hood for the compressor, and although it was snapped in place, I hadn't noticed that one of the wires in that connection had pulled out inside a connectorjust enough to not make contact. So just push all the wires in as deep as they will go and see if it changed anything.

Does that mean your compressor is not working? The thing is my compressor seems to be working as I can hear the sneezing sound inside the car.

yes, my compressor is working fine. That's why I am having a headache. It can be a big job to find out which duct is blocking. Perhaps a dismantling of dashboard...?!
