Default climate control AC button gone bad??

The AC just suddenly stopped working. The clutch does not engage, nor does the condensor fan at all. Checked all the fuses, relays and they all check out okae. The only other thing i can think of is the AC switch on the climate control. The car is a 99 accord lx. When i press the other 2 buttons beside the AC button, the front window defroster and the recirculation thingy, it mkaes a noise, and you can hear it turning on, but when i press the AC button, nothing happens at all. The light still comes on.. but could that be the problem? I guess my only soltuion would be to buy a new climate control? N e body else have probs like this b4? t hanks

You have to have the blower fan turned on for the A/C to run?? Other than that it sounds like you might have lost enough of the freon charge that the low pressure switch has shut down the system.

the blower fan isnt even turning on.. and there is still a lot of freon in the system. It was not a gradual thing.. .it just stopped working suddenly one day.

you say the blower isn't working? It may have burnt out your switch in that case. There's a lot of electricity flowing through those circuits.

when you say it makes a noise and you can hear it turning on do you mean the blower motor?? are you getting any air from vents at all?? you said blower motor does not work do you mean when engaging the a/c or at all times

i menat that the blower motor works fine. its the condensor fan that usually comes on when the AC is on. On my civic, with the ac on and the car off, the condensor fan would turn on, but it is not doing that in the accord.
