Unhappy AC started blowing hot air!!!!!!!!

I just came back from a trip to Colorado, and it worked fine the entire time. 1 week later my AC has started blowing hot air, it does not matter what I switch it to it blows hot air, my vent, my defrost, my max ac, ac. Someone told me it might be my switch, so I have removed it and don't see anything phisically wrong with it on the outside, I switched it by hand just to make sure and it still blew hot! Also it is fully charged. Do I need a new switch, or maybe is it a fuse, if so which one? Please Help it is very hot here!

Check to see if the temperature control can vary the temperature of the outlet ait from HOT to vent and back,

Check to see if the A/C clutch is opeartion when in one of the A/C modes.

I clamped off the heater hose from going through, and it got cool so my air condititioner is working. I think it is either my ac to heater switch or my shutoff valve in my heater hose line! I can't find the manual shut off. Please help if you can! Thanks

This was more than likely suggested to determine if your blend door has a problem. It's good advice:

Check to see if the temperature control can vary the temperature of the outlet ait from HOT to vent and back

When I drove it yesterday it was still on and was blowing cold air. So then I switched it over to hot air and it blew hot air. Then I switched it back to cold and it stayed hot and I could not get it back to cold with the tempature control. Is it maybe the tempature control that has gone bad?

First, check your TEMP control **** to make certain it isn't split or stripped and that the control shaft is actually rotating.

Did you visually check the A/C clutch for operation when the system was puting out hot air?
