Almost 100 Deg no AC PLEASE HELP
Hello everyone. Ill get straight to the point heres my problem
Car:
2k Max GLE with Automatic Temp contril gauge
When i go to turn on my ac it just blows warm air. When i press the AMB button it always says -22 deg which is WAYYYY OFF its almost 100 deg here. The heater works fine though. Anyway the car has lubricant and the R134. the AC lines dont get cold either and when i press the release valve the R134 does come out. The one thing that is not workin is the compressor. the compressor does not event urn on. Does anyone have any kind of diagnosis.
Im trying to stay away from the high priced dealership so any help would be greatly appreciated.

oh boy dude.. sorry to say if you hit the A/C button and you don't hear the clutch on the compressor kick in, then the compressor might be the culprit. Check all your fuses and stuff before going to the big stuff. Sadly to say, 95% says its the compressor

I hope its not the compressor I already checked the fuses and everything. Oh also it hasnt been workin since i got in an accudent and they hit the front passenger side of my car could an impact cause the compressor not to work? it suc my gf dont even wanna go in my car lol

It's possible that the accident caused the refrigerant to leak out. If this is the case, the system shuts off so as to not damage the compressor. It does this because the refrigerant also lubricates the compressor. No refrigerant = no lube = death to the comp.
Worth a try to get the system leak checked and if there are no leaks, evacuated and refilled.

well last nite i had a friend who used to work for a dealership check it out and there was refrigerant and lube in it so i dont think its a leak. We put a screwdriver to the AC hose release and the green lubricant came out so he said theres no leak. any other suggesitons? I still have a feeling they didnt plug something in when i had it fixed.
What would cause the AMB to say -22?

Already check the relays. Id take it back but i dont want my car sitting there for another 2 months.
NOTE: I just got under my car and noticed theres a plug thats not plugged in to anything i think it plugs in to the Window washer fluid box? i dont know though and theres also 2 wires just hanging i dont know where they go. they dont have a plug ont hem just a metal tip on both

no to be silly... but at first I didnt know how to run the A/C.... then I realized it would only run if I turn the AUTO and not only turning the FAN and dropping the temperature...
If you knew how to turn on the A/C (and it has worked in the past) just ignore this post. It is more for newbies (like myself) that didnt know the A/C would only run on AUTO mode.

Check around here for the way to put the auto a/c system into diagnostics mode, it will flash trouble codes.

After my car accident, my ambient temperature read -22 degrees. I also realized that at the same time, my coolant leaked out, therefore, the compressor wasn't engaging. I told the shop to order another ambient sensor (since I thought it was damaged because the display read "-22" and it was actually 50 degrees). Of course they put coolant back into the system and the A/C works fine. Now, I'm positive that the A/C works because they re-filled the coolant, but I don't know if the "-22" was a result of no coolant in the system, or a bad ambient sensor.

Hey man thanks I found out it is the ambient sensor and i ordered a new one. DR. Roy from here helped me when i did a search i found his post on how to do a self diagnostic and everything worked on it cept i got a bad sensor code and all the other sensors on my car were reading right except for the ambient. I ordered one online for 23 bux we'll see when it gets here
