Taurus AC Not Cooling
Summary of the thread
A 2007 Ford Taurus is experiencing an issue where the AC system is not cooling and doesn't activate when the button is pressed. The problem might be due to individual valve defects or other issues like a faulty pressure switch or a refrigerant leak. It is suggested to check the pressure switch near the receiver drier and consider professional diagnostics to identify leaks or other underlying problems, potentially saving on repair costs.

Thanks for the quick response! No weird AC noise that I can hear, but where exactly is the pressure switch located, and how can I check for a refrigerant leak without special equipment?

The pressure switch is usually near the receiver drier. As for the leak, without proper tools, it's hard to pinpoint. Your best bet is to take it to a workshop and have them do some AC diagnostics. They can check the pressures and use a leak detector. Trust me, it'll save you a lot of guesswork!

Alright, sounds like a plan. I will take it to a shop and see what they say. I was quoted around 1000€ for the repair, so here's hoping it's not too bad, I appreciate the help!

I had a similar issue on my Taurus a while back. Check your pressure switch first. If that's fine, you might have a refrigerant leak somewhere in the system. Is it making any weird noises when you try to turn on the AC? That might help narrow it down.
