My 06 Xtrail air conditioner stopped blowing cold air two years ago or so. The green light AC dash button lights up, but i do not hear the compressor kick on.
Now i realize the AC system problems in any vehicle can be a complicated and expensive thing to resolve.
Having said that, i am curious if any of you fellow Xtrail owners had AC problems and discovered a relative cheap and easy repair to get it blowing cold air again.
As a 16 year old vehicle, i do not want to dump any more money into it , especially a very pricey AC repair job. I may keep my Xtrail another year and move onto something ''newer'' or if finances permit, keep the Xtrail as a second beater vehicle/ winter vehicle-workhorse and buy a used compact suv such as a 2016 Rav4.
One thing i will try to kickstart my AC is swapping the AC relay with the Horn relay. It be great if it is as simple as a blown relay.
So anybody have any ideas i could try on my Xtrail based on your own personal experiences with a non working AC?
Again, if it is a simple and relatively inexpensive fix i'd be interested to check it out.
Thanks!
