Angry A/C Dead - Blows 180° Air Non-Stop

Has this happened to you? Yesterday the car ran fine, a/c worked fine. This morning I drove the (2004 8, std, with 30,800 miles) car to the local carwash. It was kinda chilly so I had the heater on. Got in the car, drove across the street for a haircut. Got in, by now it's warm inside the car, so I switched it from heat to A/C. The car does NOTHING but blow hellishly hot air regardless of whether it's set to A/C or heat and regardless of where the thermostat selector is set. Even on zero fan (and max cool) you can feel hot air wafting into the car.

I'm hoping someone on here has had a similar occurance and that something simple like a fuse (?) or a belt might be to blame. I can't think of anything they could have done at the carwash to muck it up. Do Mazda A/C units just "die"?

All suggestions/related information appreciated...

Not sure about yours but mine had a leaking low pressure side hose, the one that is half flex hose and the other half is the shiney metal pipe running long the bottom of the windshield, just happened all of a sudden, had A/C and then I didn't.

Just take it to the dealer to get fixed, it is what the warranty is for. Just hope it is not a hole from debris in the ac condensor that is not covered.

Sounds like a sudden coolant leak. Happens all the time.
