Air Conditioning problem
1997 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Automatic 70,000 miles

I have had the car for almost a year now. I used my air conditioning on my drive to lunch. After I ate lunch, I turned my car back on and the AC would not turn on. I tried to see if the heat would work or the vent, just to blow any air and nothing would work. I checked all the fuses that I related to those and nothing seemed wrong. Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Under the dash or under the hood. Under the dash, I replaced it and everything is fine.
