So the ac worked great this morning, came home and over lunch messed with some fuses to get my backup camera to work. Now the AC doesnt kick on it own.

I have scanned with the VCDS and no faults, I can manually turn on the ac compressor and it kicks right on and cools like it did this morning. Looking in the logs the AC compressor is turning 1000 rpm when I test it by manually turning it on. as soon as
I kick it off the RPMS go to 0. The compressor shut-off condition last shows up as outside temperature too low. but its like 90 here.

What could cause the ac to not kick on? I did put back all the fuses that I pulled.

Well when someone else finds this later. You have to drive the car with the ac off over 30-40 mph to reset the sensor. Works like a champ again.

thanks for coming back on and posting the solution. I have not heard that before. good info to have.

although will probably forget when I need it until someone else mentions it, then think "oh yea I remember that now"
