This is not the first time I have had this problem. The first time I followed some directions I found on another blog that led me to pull out the transistor assembly and replace a thermal fuse for $.74!

After replacing the thermal fuse the first time the air conditioner went back to working perfectly. About 9 months later the A/C and Heater stopped working again, I purchased another thermal fuse, re-soldered it and when I replaced the assembly the front blower stopped working all together.

I decided to replace the entire transistor assembly for about $70. [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BFDGNMA/ref=asc_df_B00BFDGNMA3394918?smid=A2I41YOSEKXE8&tag=pgmp-46-44-20&linkCode=df0&creative=395109&creativeASIN=B00BFDGNMA#|Here is a link to where I purchased the assembly from.]

When I replaced the assembly the blower and the heater started working again but the A/C still is not working.
What's the next piece I should be checking? I really can not afford to spend $500 - $1000 getting my wife's A/C fixed right now. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
