Make sure the AC compressor clutch activates when you turn the AC on. The inner portion of the AC clutch must spin with the outer part which the drive belt is spinning.
If the clutch is not engaging you might be low on 134a.
There a good videos to help you diagnose AC problems on youtube.

Check fuses. Check compressor. If the clutch which is usually at the spinning end is engaging and disengaging frequently, it is low on R134a. R134a is a refrigerant used in the automotive system to provide cool air. There are a lot of o-rings that over time can fail. The condenser which is located at the front of the car usually in front of the radiator can be damaged by rocks. Fuses can blow easily. Don't spend alot of money on having someone do it for you. Get the full rundown on how they work, fail and fix your AC system. I could go on forever but read up and learn it. Save money for a vacation, not an AC fan fuse. Alot of people spend hundreds when it could have been 5 bucks. Alot of shops will finagle you with big words and say it's a huge deal. They will replace your whole system when it turns out it was just your orifice tube. Don't be fooled. There are good, honest companies out there, don't get me wrong. But save yourself some money. Learn how to do it yourself.

Buy another auto or shell out big bucks to maintenance rapists.
