Ac won't turn on

[Notsus]

Hey guys I'm new to this hopefully someone can please help me
I got an 07 sv6 and my A/C just stop working I have checked the fuses they look fine so I'm guessing it's a relay would anybody know what relay I should be looking at ? Why I say it's a relay because my fan works all function works but when I press the A/C the light dose not turn on,

Thanks in advance

Relays & fuses: some in the passenger kick panel & are all listed on the cover, relay for AC compressor on mine (2010 SII) is in the fuse box under the bonnet. If the AC has low pressure (no gas) it won't turn on. If you have not used it for a long time the seals can shrink & you lose the gas. Should always run it for a bit weekly, even in winter. cheers

Looks like you found your A/C problem. That broken pipe is going to the A/C condenser (in front of the radiator) You will need to replace the pipe & the "O" rings then take it to get re-gassed. Check that the condenser is not damaged as well. Most auto electricians are "air condition specialists" I don't know how that is, as it is a refrigeration mechanics trade! Cheers

hey mate i appreciate your help, how can u tell if Ur a/c condenser is damage?

thank you

Just do a general check for cracks around that pipe fitting on the condenser. When they re-gas it they can put a dye in it & if there is any leaks the dye will come out of the leak. Myself, I would pay the little extra & get the A/C person to replace all the seals. Cheers

Ive always loved this movie which in itself may turn some people off it, ha ha and enjoy all its twists and turns. But stupidly I forgot to program my recorder and I also forgot to program The Shadow on the Wall, dagnabbit
