Did u recharge it after?
Leak test shows no leak?
Does compressor kick on?
Check pressure to make sure its not overcharged.
I believe there is an "air con" relay, not 100% sure but check that out also
Is the control working the way its supposed to?

Did they evacuate the system for a 1/2 hour or so, then let it sit to see if any leaks before recharging?
Know the pressures when the unit is operating?

that "sheet" behind the glovebox is your in-cabin air filter, has nothing to do with the air getting cold.

Your first mistake was going to pep boys... I wouldn't trust them. It could be a number of things. Also it doesn't hurt to check how dirty your in cabin filter is.

My wife's A/C has went out. Turning on the A/C produces nothing. Her coolant was very low once realizing that the A/C was not working. What could be the issue before it goes off to Nissan.

Thanks

turbonut has a point, a system should be free of non- compressional s before recharging. In other words, It should be evacuated, the drier replaced or restored, and nothing but the refrigerent and oil left in the system.

Wrong.. If the cabin air filter is plugged, it will block the cold air from coming inside the car.

Op, go out to your car and turn your AC on full blast. After about 5 minutes, feel the low-side hose going into the evaporator (firewall). Is it cold? If so, your system is working up to that point and the expansion valve most likely the culprit. If not cold, then you've got some other problem. Also, try hosing down the condenser.

Also, make sure the shop replaced the accumulator drier when they did the compressor.
