Ok, I'll look out for that car, and its sweaty occupants...!
Tim..
So is it not blowing or blowing but not cold? It's sort of critical to the diagnosis.
Has anyone checked the system charge?

It blowing air but the air is not cold cold. the charge has not been checked in the two years I have owned the car
Time for a vacuum and re-charge then!!
Tim.
That's the place to start then. If the pressures indicate a charge is present but the compressor is not engaging then look elsewhere but checking the refrigerant charge is the first step.
Happened to me. It was the compressor clutch. The electro magnet had failed. It was getting voltage but would not engage. There was a fuse on top of the compressor but it was good. In the end it cost $700 for both parts and labor to fix it. The compressor had to be removed from the car to replace the clutch.
