Mercedes ML Diesel AC Failure

My Mercedes ML diesel built in has no cold air. The AC compressor isn't engaging. I've checked the AC relay and blower motor, and they seem okay. What AC diagnostics can I do before taking things apart?

A faulty temperature control unit or individual valve issues could be the cause. Check if the compressor is getting power. AC maintenance can be tricky on these.

Where can I find the wiring diagram to trace power to the compressor? Are there common failure points I should focus on before checking the valves?

Tracing wiring can take time. Valve problems are common given the car's age. A workshop experienced with Mercedes AC diagnostics might be more efficient.

I went to a mechanic as suggested. It was a valve issue, and the repair was around 1000€ . Thanks for the help!
