Hey all a while back a removed an electric aerial that the last owners had installed in the front bumper i removed it all and all the wires that i could see had been added with no problems. Then a few months later i notice that the cold air on the aircon wasnt cold like normal (just thought i had run out of gas). I had a closer look in the engine bay today and noticed that one of the wires i removed was attached to one of the wires going into the aircon compressor and one went to some wires down near the radiator (drivers side). Was this an aircon compressor bypass?? If so how can i redo it like where do the wire's have to go ect?? If not what could be wrong with my aircon have i ran out of gas??

Not to sure where i got this info from could have been this forum i just saved it to a txt file but hope this helps. It is a six step process, although step six is not used for trouble diagnoses. Step 1. Self-diagnostic test. To enter diagnostic mode press the OFF button for more than five seconds within ten seconds of turning ignition from ON to OFF. Step 2. Sensor check. Step 2 is selected by pressing HOT switch (the red triangle) while in diagnostic mode. The microcomputer detects whether each sensor input signal is within correct parameters. The results are displayed on the screen. If normal, a "20" is displayed. If abnormal the failed sensor number is displayed. The sensor numbers are as follows: 20 - all is normal 21 - outside air sensor 22 - Inside air sensor 23 - Water temperature sensor 24 - Intake temperature sensor 25 - Sunload sensor 26 - PBR 27 - Refrigerant temperature sensor This should tell you if any of your sensors are faulty. Step 3. Mode door position check. (This is probably not the cause of your problems but it is a nifty self check to play with). While in step 2, depress the HOT button again. This will operate the the mode door actuator, and checks the wether the position detection switch is operating. Again the results are displayed on the display. If normal, a "30" is displayed. If abnormal the number of the faulty mode is displayed as follows: 30: Normal 31: VENT 32: B/L (Bi level) 34: FOOT 35: DEFROST/FOOT 36: DEFROST Step 4: Actuator operation check. By pressing the HOT button while in Step 3, you can actually send a signal to check the operation of the actuator manually. It's a bit tricky and will take all day to write up how it works, so we will skip it! Step 5: Sensor recognition check. Press the HOT switch again and a "5" will be indicated in the display section. If you press the "AMB" button in this status, the display will show the temperature sensed by each sensor. This will give you an indication also of which (if any) are faulty. Temperatures will be displayed in the following order: 5 -> Outside air temp -> Inside air temp -> Suction temp -> Refrigerant temp Obviously if any of these temps seem excessively different from actual temperatures you have a problem! Step 6: Calibration If you depress the fan switch during Step 5, you will go to Step 6 in which you can set the difference between the indicated temperature and sensed temperature. I found this very useful because when I got my car I found I had to set the inside temp to around 22 to feel comfortable even though I knew it was probably more like 20. While in Step 6 press the HOT or COLD buttons to change the display by plus or minus 3 degrees in .5 degree increments.
