Default AC Not Blowing Cold Air - Codes

So I have an issue with my AC, one day it was working fine and the next, all of the sudden it was blowing hot out of both driver and passenger vents. I took the car to a shop, and the told me that it brought up the following codes: B0361, B0367, and B0441. I'm thinking it's a blendoor actuator issue, but I'm not sure which one. Any way to tell? Any suggestions on what to do would be much appreciated. I have a 2004 C5 with the auto climate control option for the driver's side. I can hear a slight clicking noise when I engage the A/C, but it's very hard to hear due to my loud exhaust - and the A/C won't come on unless the engine is running - not sure if this is another glitch. Thanks in advance!

Did they check your AC charge? If the charge is fine and you are getting those codes, I would replace both actuators; they all fail eventually if they haven't been changed.

Not a glitch—A/C won't come on if the engine isn't running. Our cars don't have electric compressors. If the engine isn't rotating, the A/C compressor isn't rotating, and you don't get A/C.

Most likely, you have several issues. Blend door codes can't be ignored. You need to replace those. Second, charge the system with extra dye. Check again later for leaks.
