Does your A/C have a full charge of 134A refrigerant in it? Sounds like it's low on charge. USE ONLY APPROVED REFRIGERANT not those cheap replacements for 134A.

Your best course of action would be to grab your good ol' fashioned voltmeter and make sure everything from the fuse block to the control panel to the fan motor is getting 12V when the system is on. Wherever the voltage is not present, there's your problem!
