I have a 2004 mach 1 that the air conditioner decided to stop working.  The fan works ok but no cold air.  I had a guy who re-gasses them come and he reckons there is plenty of gas still in it. He thought a pressure switch wasn't working and to take it to an auto electrician, which I did.  The wiring diagram on both the workshop manual and the car manual are different and we are at a loss. He is now searching the internet for some answers, can anyone HELP please?:hammer:

Is the compressor clutch kicking in?
If it's worth owning, it's had a song written about it.

if the compressor isn't kicking.in find the pressure switch which could be combined with the sight glass somewhere near the filter drier. With the air conditioning switched on, motor running make the circuit by pulling the two wires going into the switch and touching them together. If the compressor starts its the switch. If it doesn't start use a multimeter or indicator light to see if there's power to the switch.
