Does the fan come on? If it is a mechanical fan, WITH THE CAR TURNED OFF...spin the fan by hand. You should feel some resistance. If the fan is okay, look through the front and make sure the condenser is not plugged. Get a pillow case and set it on the grill while it is running to see if air is being sucked through the front. The picture is an example of a mechanical fan. Let me know
