Default Where is the low pressure switch for the A/C system and which pins do you jump on the high pressure

switch to test it?

My Compressor won't turn on after my TB change and I have the whole front end apart again. The green 12v that actuates the clutch is solid as well as the wiring for the pressure sensor (on the condensor) back up to the fenderwall. Now I am even more confused. What other switches are there?

Electric fan works
Compressor/clutch work
wiring for the two are good up to the fenderwall
Wiring for the pressure swith is good
Outside temp gauge reads correctly
Fuse looks good
Belt seems to be tight enough

What am I missing?

Default double check the A/C pressure switch behind the passenger headlight...

also check to see that the wires are OK around it. You may have kinked, disconected or tore one of them when putting the front back on after the TB. I assume that you do have enough freon right? Also check for HVAC fault codes on the VAG.

Default Is there another pressure switch behind the headlight? or do you mean the one below it? Also, you

have to take out the climate control head and hook the VAG up to that to get the fault codes right?

Default No. Hold down recirc and press the top vent arrow...

1C will display. Hit recirc again and it will cycle any DTC's the headunit has thrown.

Default It only shows 0.0 when I do that so I assume that means no faults. Is there anyway to reset the CC

unit. This problem is driving me crazy what else could it be...

00.0 No malfunction present. I included a link to the page I got this from in case youwant to probe further...

I think you need VAG-COM to reset it, but unplugging the battery may work.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2299775.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2299775.phtml</a</li></ul>
