I just made a 1350 mile trip down to West Palm Beach, FL to visit some friends... and to my dismay the AC was also dead when I turned it on as I passed through Jacksonville, FL. I quickly checked fuses at my last stop at a gas station but didn't see any obvious blown fuses. I'm pretty sure it was working ok a couple weeks ago when defrosting the windows but now the compressor doesn't even try to kick in.
Looks like another stop into the shop for some warranty work!

well, the dealership found the leak, but wont fix it under warranty b/c god damnit it's my fault lol. One of the hose clamps that connect the uicp to the ic was rubbing on one of the ac line that runs right next to it. It's been a while since i put it on but I guess it took that long for it to rub a hole right into it lol. Oh well lesson learned. $250.00 for the damn hose though!

Just make sure the A/C stays off without a charge. Just like in a regular system, there are head and suction pressure safeties to spare the compressor if something goes wrong. Your car is no different, but you never know. Switches and sensors go bad all the time Don't bother trying to charge the car. It's obvious you have a leak. The condenser is probably where it's at. Sometimes even a small rock at 80 mph can do it.

Update to the thread since I brought my loss of AC into the dealership... turns out they found the dryer was leaking which also needed new O rings in the hoses connecting to it. Not exactly sure where it sits but somewhere near the AC condenser so likely nothing that I did while modding the car.
