When I came home last night and parked my car, the air conditioner was working great. Extremely cold and no problems. When I go out this afternoon and crank my car to go to the store, I turned on my air conditioner and only have very hot air blowing out of all vents. I checked the temperature gauge and it was normal, on the cool end. I tried defrost, floor, vent, back to air conditioner and max air conditioner. Only hot air blows out. Please help.

try pulling HVAC fuse inside car for sixty seconds with key on then reinstall. it may reset actuator. if that does not work have air conditioner performance checked there may be a leak in it.
