I have checked my heating fuse, Recently had air-con gassed up.
You press the air-con switch blue led lights up, You put the fan on to full blast the fan speeds up cold air come's out thru the vents.

I put an live to the compressor the air-con is ice cold, I just can't get an live going to the compresor.
I have also checked the connector to the Heater ECU It's in nice shape.

Doe anyone know any known faults/problems to check out?

Cheers

Mine wasn't working and it turned out to be that two chips had burnt out in the instrument pod. Dom at Power got it sorted out (others I tried couldn't find the problem)

there is a pressure switch in the system and if for any reason the gas pressure isnt up enough it wont let feed the live wire to the comp.

Could be a faulty pressure switch too..

To test put a live direct feed to the compressor and run the system and see if it gets cold... if it doesnt its the gas pressure, if it does its the switch..

Thanks to you all!



T5AMX: That pressure switch is it inside under the passenger footwell?

Has 2 wires on it & an thick copper wire with an small pin which you can adjust.
