A/C unit blowing warm air, no cooling whatsoever. My son was driving me to Dr. office when it happened.
I was reading last night everything I could to find solution, including my Bentley manual. Here is what I've found so far with great difficulty.
I have hairline fracture in right leg, just below top of fibula. Wearing full leg brace, so doing anything "sucks". If you ask how, daughters 120 Rottweiler/Mastif mix 2 yr old puppy knocked me down. Cute dog, doesn't know his own strength yet.
Diagnosis: Checked with Fluke 77 DVM
Battery fuse box fuses 180 and 164 I think they were are fine.
Fuse locations 5 and 16 on side panel are good,
With key on, AC button depressed, and fan set on 2nd and later full on, both cooling fans run fine. Do not hear A/C clutch kick in.
Layed on floor in garage, no easy task here, unplugged wire connector to A/C unit, turned key on, AC button on, fan on, got like .87 vdc. Started engine, and did same.
I am assuming, that with the fans running the FCM is probably good, but guessing, as I have no A/C experience. First time in 40 years I've had an A/C problem.
A/C clutch is probably bad, just guessing.
With leg in brace for another 6 weeks, I won't be doing this myself, and driving is near impossible with full leg brace. I do have Vagcom but not sure if it will help diagnose anything AC related.
Would appreciate any ideas to assist me. Won't take it to local VW dealer, that's a joke. Not sure if anyone locally in western wisconsin is good.
Thanks All,
