The air conditioning worked faultlessly before. Last night when i was driving i smell petrol in the cabin so i switch the recirculation from on to off. I didnt notice what state was the "econ" button.
After a few more minutes driving i notice the air from the vent is moist and warm.
After parking and restarting the car, air cond is still not working. Turn off battery for a few hours, still no good. Fuse No. 6 checked intact, which is located in the passenger foot well.
I checked that the engine rpm does not drop at all when i tried to switch on the air con. I cannot hear fan coming on in the engine bay.
Wind speed is normal and responsive to the temp knob, hot air works too.
I followed the manual and check for error in the air cond system by pressing the recirculation and econ buttons simultaneously with engine running, no error code stored, just AA, 00, then AA on the LED display.
Also ran the manual self teaching procedure once according to manual, still no good.
Any ideas? Doesnt look like mechanical failure of the compressor as it works beautifully before. Could it be the clutch stuck at non-engaging position due to me pressing the econ button?
