Citroen C6 AC Failure

My 2005 Citroen C6, diesel engine, AC just quit. It's not blowing any cold air, and I can't tell if it's trying to switch on. I'm not very car savvy, so easy explanations are welcome. I've checked fuses, but no luck. Mileage is 149168 km if that matters.

I had similar AC woes with my C6. The symptoms sound very familiar. Does it make any strange noises when you try to turn on the AC, like a clicking or hissing sound?

No strange noises that I can hear, just... nothing. It's like the AC system doesn't even know it's supposed to be working. What was the issue with yours?

In my case, the issue was traced back to faulty valves within the AC system itself. It's a common problem, apparently. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop that specializes in automotive AC diagnostics. They should be able to pinpoint the exact cause. Don't delay, as summer is approaching quickly.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a trusted mechanic and you were right! Turns out some valves in the AC system were shot. Cost me around 1000€ to get it sorted, ouch! At least I have AC now.
