HELP with A/C

So my ac just stoped blowing one day, and started back up another day then quit again. It flooded a while back here in my home town and I went to rescue the girl friend and was in deep wqter and it started working again and the next day it didnt. Being hard up I jumped it to make it work and burnt a pole on my window switch. Everything works except it wont blow any air. If I turn it on and drive down the road you feel cold air coming out of the vents. The little shop across from work changed a little module next to the blower and that didnt fix it either. He says he thinks the fuse box under the hood neds replaced. O and my cruise control will work come on and set and then it will just stop but doesnt turn off and my driver side break light keeps burning out every month and a half or so. What in the heck is going on? Could this all be tied to one thing or what?

when my a/c blower stopped running and the comp. was kicking on like it should, my ignition switch was bad.
wasnt allowing the power to get to the fan.
happened to alot of people on this forum.
i have posts on this as well (search )
i temporarily ran power to blower and it worked until i figured out the ignition sw.
the module you describe is the resistor block for the different fan speeds.

Well I got it fixed last night. The ignition switch did the trick. I pulled up in the driveway to work on it and It started to blow nice and cold. Turned the truck off and back on and it stoped blowing. That really teed me off ya know. After my 3 hour ordeal with it I got it all working good. Had a heck of a time getting the new switch back in. That took me and hour and a half or so. It just didnt want to work with me.

Now that it blows.......I want it colder. My first truck was a crewcab 1st gen powerstroke and that bad boy would make the rear window condensate when it was 100 degrees out. How do I get this dodge do blow ice cold?

Start by making sure it's got a full charge of R-132a. If so, it should blow cold as long as there's nothing wrong with your blend door.

Mine does.
