Default A/C problem

I'm having trouble with running a A/C on 99 civic lx. I did some quick diagnastic so far this is what i got. When I turn on the A/C, I get a hot air. The frione is in the system. When dialing the tempature between hot and cold there is no difference. A/C fan does not run when i turn on the A/C.

So what could be the problem?

So neither the heat nor A/C work, right?

Heater: Check the cable running from the heater panel to the heater valve located near the heater hose on the firewall. The cable may be disconnected.

A/C: Check whether fuse 56, 47, or 17 is blown.

Did you check the three fuses? If they are fine, check whether jumping power at the relay to the condenser fan or compressor clutch makes them run.

i notice when dialing the temperture control above fan control doesn't seem to work.. regardless dialing to cold or hot, it keeps blowing hot air @ same temperture. there is absolutely no difference.

Did you read my suggestion in post #2? THE HEATER VALVE ON THE FIREWALL MAY BE STUCK OPEN.

Have you check the three fuses?
