Hello, I have a Ford Focus 2005 and my A/C stoped working. As in there is only car tempeture air coming out. I tried refilling the car with an A/C recharge kit but nothing happend. Is it possible that a fuse connected to the ac needs to be changed or is it another problem?

There are endless reasons your A/C might not work but you already tried to refill it now all clues are lost so this must be sent out to a shop the deals with A/C routinely. Bring that thing/device or can you used for their information so they can remove whatever possible product it has that isn't wanted, needed, destructive or incorrect in any way,

When will these people learn not to arbitrarily add refrigerant? More systems are destroyed that way.

It's not fair to the unwary of the risks and extra costs plus so tempting. Just at the "Z" store for something and first thing in the door is in your face all the Death Kit stuff. Looked to see what the price is of real stuff. Had it but down so low the roaches were crawling around it.

The staff/employees aren't supposed to bash what is sold in the place they work for - are they?

OP - Your post just screeched that you had no clue no offense. You went right from trying to "fill" it to wondering if it was electrical. That's enough to prove it to me so I came across a bit abrupt.

IDK - not fair. There are more warnings on the hang a tree air fresheners than A/C stuff. What gives with that?
