What is your question?
I have a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L. Last week I noticed that my vents are not blowing COLD air. To be sure, I turned the AC ON, brought the temp down to 65, increased the fan speed to full and it was clear that while the car is blowing air, it's not cold air. Considering my three year warranty is over, I decided to open up the hood and noticed that my AC fan (aka condenser fan?) is not running at all. Both the fans in front are not running, but I understand that the cooling fan only runs when the engine gets hot. The AC fan, however, should run any time the AC is turned on. Now, since I am not very good at automobiles, I am hoping that the experts here could help me with how to perform the diagnosis and point me to a solution.

Does the A/C blow cold driving down the road? With the hood open and the A/C commanded on does the clutch hub on the front of the A/C compressor engage? You could be low on charge if the compressor is not engaging. There could be a number of problems that may require advanced electrical diagnosis or an understanding of the A/C system to properly diagnose. Consult your owners manual for fuse locations and check all fuses, sometimes its an easy electrical fault like a bad fuse or relay.
Post the VIN# so i can check for warranty status. Past 60,000 miles? Purchased before 2012? Certain A/C components may be covered 5/60 NOT the 3/36 you seem to be assuming. Then I can also post a brief simplified diagnostic tree, if you have tools & a multi-meter.
