#1: Air con no live Author: bikesforme, Posted: Tue May 07, 2013 12:42 pm ---- When I brought my 2001 1.4 lx petrol 206, the two wires going to the air con compressor were cut and the end connector missing. I went to the car breakers and cut the connector with wires off, thinking it would be a easy fix.
No such luck, the brown wire is not live, I have looked in a Haynes manual and it says it goes to fuse 28 in car, and mine is empty. I put a 5amp fuse in still no luck, I tested connection 28 on fuse box and I don't seem to have a live. In the handbook it says fuse 28 is free, can anyone advice please, with the weather warming up and a 600 mile round trip for hols with kids coming up I would like to get it working.

So I will not get a live on the brown wire, or the fuse box . Does anyone no if its fuse 28. Thanks
#4: Re: Air con no live Author: bikesforme, Posted: Tue May 07, 2013 2:21 pm ---- I have found out that if the gas is low a valve will cut in to stop damage, can anyone tell me if this would stop a live going to compressor. Thanks
#5: Re: Air con no live Author: DeeTurbo, Location: BedfordshirePosted: Tue May 07, 2013 2:27 pm ---- Yes this will stop the cable going live, as a live to the pump will activate the clutch and start the pump.
I would suggest getting the car pressure checked.

#8: Re: Air con no live Author: bikesforme, Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 1:26 pm ---- I have brought a ez chill kit and I have checked the air con measure and it was at 0 psi, so I have recharged it to 40 psi.I have tried the air con but the temp seems the same with air con off, so I think it might not be working.
Does anybody know the best way to check if air con is working .Thanks

Its no cooler and I can not hear a clicking noise.
#11: Re: Air con no live Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Thu May 16, 2013 3:16 pm ---- Is the pressure still there?

#13: Re: Air con no live Author: bikesforme, Posted: Fri May 17, 2013 8:10 am ---- My partner has a 206 and her air con was not working, so i have recharge hers up and it now works and clicks when you press the air con button.
Mine is still dead and i am sure there is no live going to the compressor. It could be something simple like a fuse but i have no info on which fuse is for the air con.Can anybody help me where to look and what to check please .

If the wires were cut (quite common down there to catch on something) maybe the fuse got blown if they touched-together.
Refer to the appropriate fuse list to find-out which one it is, and check it with the multimeter, not just visualy.
There should be a relay as well somewhere, make sure that is firing-up.

Green led light comes on when air con is pressed, I have a Haynes manual and Peugeot 206 handbook but can not find air con fuse.The engine fuse box fuse 21 is for thermostat + automatic regulation air conditioning, there is a live going to that fuse looks fine but I put a new one in anyway. Fuse 29 says air pump not sure what that's for but no fuse in mine so checked for live and its fine so put a 30amp fuse in , but still no joy.I can not find any fuse in the fascia 28 fuse box to do with the air con.
