Hot air depending on the temp setting, very hot at 90 degree setting and medium hot as I lower the setting but NO COLD AIR. Blower blows OK. It appears the A/C settings are completely ignored.

When you turn the ac on, with the engine running, open the hood and watch the compressor clutch (on front of compressor pulley). You will hear a click and see the center of the clutch spin.

Hi, I checked the compressor wheel and when I turn on the a/c the front compressor wheel does start to turn.
