Ecosport AC not working

Hey! Bummer about the AC. When you say it doesn't switch on, does the AC compressor try to engage? Do you hear a click or any change in engine RPM when you hit the AC button? Also, have you checked the AC relay? Sometimes that's the problem; it's like a tiny switch that tells the AC to kick in.

Thanks for the quick reply. The AC compressor doesn't seem to change the engine RPM, and I don't hear any clicking when I turn it on. Can you give me more details on how to check the AC relay? I'm not sure how to do that.

Okay, no compressor engagement is a key clue. Think of your AC system like a bicycle tire. If there's a leak, no amount of pumping will fill it. The AC relay is usually in the fuse box under the hood; check your car's manual for the location. With those symptoms, it could be a refrigerant leak, a faulty pressure switch. Given the age of your Ecosport, I'd recommend a workshop visit. They can pinpoint the problem and recharge the system if needed.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take it to a workshop to get it checked out. It seems like the valves within the AC system are likely the problem, which will cost around 1000€ to fix.
