1000 miles on my car... Air Conditioning went out this morning.

ZaGerman · 04-21-2008, 08:01 PM

Picked up my car on friday (took redelivery). I put 600 miles on it in Germany, AC was working fine. Put another 400 miles on it this weekend. AC was working just fine. Get in the car this morning and there is no air coming out of any of the AC vents. All the vents are open. I played with all the settings, read through the manual etc...

I can turn the AC all the way up and it still won't blow out any air. Anyone have this happen before?

I've got a service appointment in the morning.

No air at all from any vent? If so it's definitely broken nothing to be done but get it fixed. If it's not all cold air or air from only top/bottom make sure the temperature selector is all the way to cold.

No air at all... from any vent. I have a service appointment tomorrow. Other than the AC problem, I love the car.

Might have flipped a breaker/fuse for your blower motor. Were you doing any electrical mods?

Do you notice whether the dashboard is dimmer than it should be? As if all the lights on the dashboard were off?

+1, my thoughts exactly, coz I have seen it happen once. Somehow, the glovebox light is wired to the same fuse circuit of the AC blower, and the dashboard lights.

ZaGerman · 04-21-2008, 10:28 PM

Everything else in the car works fine. The lights all work just fine. The AC acts like it is working, but it doesn't blow out any air.

Swamp55 · 04-22-2008, 12:26 AM

Weird. Hey, zagerman, please post again when you find out what the cause of the problem was.

myfirstbmw335i · 04-22-2008, 12:33 AM

when my car had 11k, ac went out. cause was line from condensor to evaprator/expansion valve was leaking....

E90330iS · 04-22-2008, 02:34 AM

good luck!

anerbe · 04-22-2008, 07:31 AM

does it work if you put the HVAC on manual, and put it on full blower?

check your fuses. it could also be the final stage resistor (controls variable fan speed)

stefman · 04-22-2008, 08:31 AM

Time for a visit to your local dealer......but I would start with checking the fuses like anerbe said.

ZaGerman · 04-23-2008, 12:41 AM

Took the car to the dealer this morning... got it back this afternoon. Bad connection somewhere in the AC. Everything works fine now.

nhhiep · 04-23-2008, 02:37 AM

335i's still carry this bug? this is an old bug since 05. My 325i gets it randomly too (haven't seen it for like 6 months now). I didn't bother to bring it to the dealer. since it's almost impossible to duplicate.

Just turn it off and back on like 15 mins and everything is fine.

ElRedOne · 04-23-2008, 09:49 AM

^^^ my E36 did this all the time. Would come and go on its own.

thegeneral101 · 04-23-2008, 10:01 AM

at least you're not in miami, life without AC even for a day would suck

cadbimmer · 04-23-2008, 10:52 AM

my car was blowing fuses every time i cranked up the heat. but everything is fine now
