(Home) Aircon not working

Hi, all.

I have an imported 1992 2.0TD Super Extra 2WD TownAce. The aircon has not worked since purchased. I have scanned the BoK but cannot find info to get me started. I am in Bexhill, East Sussex.

My first problem is the A/C light on the dash-switch does not light when pressed. The 15A fuse is fine. I have removed the securing screws from the control panel and when I wiggle the wire behind the switch I can hear a relay clicking beneath the seat somewhere but the switch still doesn't light up.

Am I right to diagnose the switch problem first before looking further or could some other failure cause the switch to not light?

Where should I look next?

Regards and TIA,
Duggy.

If the gas is low the A/C won't cut in.
As you have no light (duff bulb/short circuit/no circuit?), check the relays/connection that are behind the glove box.
