My friend has a 2008 toyota camry it has a little over 100k miles and the ac is not blowing. I have filled the freon in it, I have replaced the cabin air filter, and it still doesn't blow cold. The fuses are all good.
How did you fill the freon? Did you evacuate the system and put in the correct amount by weight? Is the compressor clutch engaging? What are the high and low system pressures?
The compressor clutch was engaged and it only needed a top off on the freon i used the gauges and it was only on the line for the green.

I'm sorry but that's not the way you work on air conditioning. "Filling to the green" is meaningless. If that stuff contained sealer it may have even destroyed your friend's air conditioning system. (A friend of mine did that to his Toyota years ago trying to "fill to the green". The sealer hardened all over inside his AC system and everything had to be replaced.)
You need to follow the procedure as stated to properly fill the air conditioning - evacuate the system and charge in the proper amount by weight and use a real manifold gauge set to check pressures, not the useless cheap low pressure gauge on so-called "refill cans".
To "top up" successfully is very difficult on modern AC systems. An experienced pro might be able to get away with it but the average car owner will likely make matters worse. AC systems on modern vehicles are extremely sensitive to the amount of refrigerant and you can't tell by pressure due to variable displacement compressors that have been in virtually universal use for the last 20+ years. So "green" on those cans really does not mean a darned thing.

This is NOT a DIY job. It needs to be taken to an automotive AC professional for service.
