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.

I'm not sure but I think you need some pressure in the air con pipes before you get power to the clutch on the pump.

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

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.

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

If its working the air will be noticeably cooler, you should also hear the Air Con clutch clicking off and on, about every 30 seconds.

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 .

Does the air-con green LED light-up when you press the button?
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.
