Air-conditioning problems

[Happy Pete]

Can anyone advise on an air-conditioning problem. Re-gased a month ago and it was working OK but no longer.

Switch on dash lights when pressed but engine not doesn't change note. I've checked and theres no volts at the compressor terminal. Fuses under dash look OK but I can't find the relay that power the compressor. Any ideas where it located

Mine did exactly the same it has a leak somewhere (I'll bet its the bottom of the condenser thats corroded), best to get an AC specialist out to check it over as they have all the gear to fix it properly not just a top-up like Halfords or Quick-fit.

as said you probably have a leak if the gasses run low the compressor will not turn on ,i am fairly certain kwikfit can refill the system with a uv dye in it,then with a uv light you can trace any leaks that you have as the uv dye will fluoresce

Thanks for the reply but the system was pressure tested before it was refilled so not so sure its a leak. With no voltages at the compressor I was hoping to trace the signal back to the A/C relay which is shown in the Haynes manual but sure where its located. Does anyone have any ideas?

Confirm that because if is a leak the compressor won't start, by safety... Probably you have a leak...
