Re: 1985 318i A/C questions

Ben,

Some points to consider:

- - Does the AC compressor turn on when you push the button?  I've had the 
lightbulb on the AC switch burn out.  It's easy to replace.

- - If you don't have the lower and middle vent levers open, the AC compressor 
won't turn on

- - Low freon will open the pressure switch, causing the compressor to remain 
off

- - Check the state of the cround wire connecting the AC compressor to the 
engine block.  If the wire breaks, the AC compressor will fail to turn on.

- -rb
