Believe me guys, I tried to find something similar to my issue on the web and on this forum, but there isn't one. It's starting to get hot in MA and I want to get my A/C working.
Car's a 1987 325is and is equipped with the bosch-behr green label compressor, type 3 i think they call it.
My mother is the PO and said she had the r134a conversion done, and that it did blow cold up untill a few years ago.
when the car is running and you hit the snowflake A/C button, it lights up, however the compressor doesn't engage, and the aux fan doesn't kick on. and I have tried adding refrigerant to make it kick on, but still nothing. So what I was thinking is that the compressor clutch is bad, but I recently read something that said that if the low or high (cant remember which) fan relay is bad, then the compressor also won't turn on. so is it a coincidence that both the fan and the compressor don't work, or could they be related? I've checked the wiring out and nothing's broken. I've taken off connectors and hit them with contact cleaner.
any help is much appreciated.
