Aircon is no longer working. Took it to have it regassed but gas pressure is fine. The green light comes on so does the fan at the front but the compressor does not engage. I have been told that its likely to be a relay or the aircon pressure switch but I cant locate either. There is no 12v on the aircon pump. Can someone tell me where to find this relay and the pressure switch.

I believe the pressure cut-out switch is on the left-hand side looking at the engine bay
on one of the pipes coming off the receiver drier mounted on the front-left.

Hi v9977,
Looking at the left of the engine bay I cant see anything looking like a drier or a pressure sensor, Its dark now so I'm looking with a torch, I think there is pipework from the pump going off through the inner wing, could it be under the wing somewhere? other pipework is going off to the front of the radiator.

There is a canister bolted onto the front left to the radiator.
It has two pipes going into the top of it and I think it's on there with two wires going to it.

Still cant find the pressure sensor/switch, I've looked everywhere I can think of. Been told by my local garage that it's a dual sensor that detects low or high pressure but they dont know where it is either. Can anyone shed light on this?
