Hi,
With the good weather i just noticed my air conditioning is not working, also i don't think the engine fan is working either. The clutch is not engaging on the compressor, the gap is ok, it's not getting power. is there a relay or something else thats interrupting the power when the air conditioning is turned on. Thanks in advance. Ian |

Most obvious culprits are a faulty pressure sensor or low gas or a faulty relay.

I have VIDA would that pinpoint it. I haven't used vida for a long time so not sure what to look for.

Yes Vida will show actual gas pressure and describe minimum gas pressure, evaporator temperature, remotely activate the AC relay..... Lots basically.

9 time out of 10 the cause of this is low (or no) gas pressure in the system. In these cases the compressor is disabled to prevent damage as the lubricating oil is in the gas.

Thanks you your replies, I will have some time tomorrow to explore. The laptop i bought for VIDA is tediously slow so it sometimes puts me of using it.
Thanks, Ian |
