Default Re: A/C not working

quick troubleshoot:

hood up, engine running, have helper turn AC on: Does compressor engage and idle jump?

Y/N

if N: check fuses for AC.

if Y:
Compressor is running... 2 AC hoses run to the firewall... one hot, one cold.
Is the cold hose getting cold?
if N: Compressor/condensor fault?

If Y:
try twiddling the interior knobs: turn off 'recirculate'?
try DEFROST or HEAT to see if you get cold air.

Also: check for blocked cowl intake/clogged filter?

AND: make sure HEATER HOSES are cool. if heater valve stuck open will negate the chill of the AC.
