Risco Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I am guessing it is a fuse, I have some fuses. However I have no idea which one it is? it seems they are behind glove box, how do I remove lid? Edit - Ok it's not the fuse, just replaced. any other suggestion?

GingerFlame Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 AC relay under the bonnet, behind the battery tray. Try that Mine shorted out but didn't fail completely. so everything worked, the fan kicked it etc but the clutch in the compressor wasn't engaging. Didn't notice for weeks. I thought it just needed regassing. Then after changing my timing belt and obviously paying attention to my aux belts I noticed it www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemfusion Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Could try checking the wiring to the plugs on the low and high pressure sensors on the refrigerant pipework - had the same issue on my Fusion (kinda the same as your Fiesta underneath) whereby the AC wouldn't kick in nor the button light up as a wire had broken loose from a connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not mechanically minded, so how would I know if the relay is faulty? 23 minutes ago, chemfusion said: Could try checking the wiring to the plugs on the low and high pressure sensors on the refrigerant pipework - had the same issue on my Fusion (kinda the same as your Fiesta underneath) whereby the AC wouldn't kick in nor the button light up as a wire had broken loose from a connector Where is this on the car, as mentioned I am not mechanically minded but always willing! Also need to mention that recirculate does not work. Are they both on same relay? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The recirculation button just causes a little flap to rotate in the passenger footwell allowing inside air to circulate and block fresh air. I'm tempted to say the wiring in the back of the heater controls has come unplugged or something www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trewithy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 On a previous car I had a similar problem, the air con stopped working and the AC light wouldn't come on. Turned out to be the refrigerant got so low the system just wouldn't operate. Was back to normal after a regas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
