Air Conditioning problem
2001 Mercury Sable 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive 100000 miles

This just came about:
I started my car and I adjusted my air to a cool setting. The blower is blowing stronge, but its blowing very hot air! Like from the "heater". The air is definatly HOT and not just med. Temp air. I looked under the hood and noticed in the area that I think is the air condition compressure and tubes, some condensation and it was cool to the touch.

Can someone tell me what the problem is?

ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
Ensure in-car temperature is 40-90 °F (4-32 °C) as false in-car temperature sensor DTCs will be displayed. Simultaneously depress OFF and FLOOR buttons, then press AUTO button within 2 seconds. The display will show a dashed line in center of display window for up to 30 seconds while test is running. Record all DTCs as displayed.

Self-diagnostics can be initiated at any time with the resulting DTCs being displayed. Normal system operation is stopped when system is in self-diagnostic mode.
