Hi guys new to this site. I have a vz 07 ute and my air con doesn't switch on. When I push the air con button the fan didn't turn on. I know it works as I took it the temp control south turned on the ignition and both fans came on. Checked the red 10 amp fuse checked the relay that is next to the horn weighed looked the same so I swapped them over and they seem fine. What's my next move.

Mine krapped a compressor clutch and another one I had got low on gas to the point the compressor would not crank up
They have a low gas switch that stops them starting.

AC is a complex circuit. Diagnosis always starts with a check of the refirigerant and progresses from there though a series of checks. If you download the mnaul you can follow along - however, unless you have the specialist tools your best bet is to duck down to your local auto lecky or reputable AC repairer and get them to test the system. Low gas - easy fix, high pressure - blockage somewhere, possibly the condensor and if the compressor is dead - it is dead. High or low pressure usually stops the compressor cutting in as a safety feature so you really need to fallow the full diagnostics proceedure.
