A/C not blowing air

Hello guys, my A/C stop blowing air. One guy mention it could be the compressor, other said is the blower. I think is the blower because I here the compressor running. How i can diagnose this before going to a mechanic and he tells everything is screw?

thanks in advance

Fuses? If all the fuses are good I would point to the blower motor. Start with those then get into the can of worms.

Another easy one would be a loose electrical connection at the blower.

With the engine running, have someone turn on the AC and see if the (electric)clutch engages. I'm not that familiar with Toyota's yet, but a common sign of low freon is a short cycling compressor. If the compressor is working properly (with a good charge) the suction line should be cool to touch and you'll see condensation on same.

Good move asking the forum before trusting your truck to those you should not trust!

You said "stopped blowing" so you mean it does not blow air from the vents, right? If so, then it's a problem with the blower circuit, that 4crawler covers on his website, not the compressor (Blower does the blowing of air, compressor does the compressing of refrigerant that produces the cooling process.)

Blower relay and fuses for blower (blowing air) and air-conditioning (cooling air) are in dash, behind the cigarette lighter jack and to left of glove box

Hmmm. Looks like they are on the other side (closer to the right door -- ignore the dyslexic caption in the photo) in my '94.
