I don't use the truck that much, probably twice a month. Today I turned on the air conditioning and it just blew hot air. Last month it worked fine. I looked and it seemed like the compressor never ingaged. I checked the fuses and the 1 -10 amp is ok. Could it be the relay in the fuse box that is labeled A/C/? or is there another common problem.

First check would be for low freon and ac\heater controls.
Does the control panel work good? Blower motor and switching from heat to air ?
To check for low freon you will need a air cond recharge gauge set with low and high gauges like this

Hook up the gauges and jump the compreser to run and give us your low and high reading at idle and at 2000 RPM

Also a good scanner will tell you if the air cond is getting a air cond request from VCM or control panel and sometimes the freon pressure.
