Does it blow cold when you have the compressor clutch hotwired? If so, then I would suspect a faulty low pressure switch.

Max AC does not modify the fan settings at all. It just changes the flow paths through the HVAC system, mainly pulling changing it over to recirculate air from inside the cabin rather than pulling outside air in.

You really need to know if you are working with a low charge (AC does not blow cold when compressor is hotwired) or a full charge with something electrical causing the compressor to not run.
