Air conditioner blowing hot air

Today, i got my windows tinted and those of you who have ever got windows tinted, they know that you cant roll down the windows for about 48hrs. I live in AZ and it is about 90 degrees out. I turned ma A/c on , but it only blew hot air. I tried turning it on and off and enonomy mode, but it still blew hot air. I was frying my ying yangs off for 45 minutes!! Any ideas on what maybe the cause?

Thnx

First check the compressor.
Compressor NOT working: a)low refrigerant. b)low pressure safety switch triggered. c) blown fuse for the compressor's clutch.
d) compressor has seized. e) loose belts.
Compressor WORKING: a)defective Expansion valve. b) low pressure. c)obstruction in the evaporator or condenser.
d)dirty coils.

there is a how thats near the radiators drivers side it goes from the compressor to the condensor its a common hose that breaks i think its the main pressure hose


it runs around 140.00$

what ever you do do not get the freeze 12 freon!!! its a suplements to the r12 but it suxs, find a local a/c shop and replace it with the r-12

Hope it's not doing what mine started doing. It blows heated hot air on all temp settings, including vent. I'm dreading taking the dash apart to see if the mixing door is jammed or the motor not working.

The last time it was recharged, they did put in the Freeze 12 stuff. What is the problem with it?
