My A/C was great when i got the car then it just stopped working. Checked the pressure and it's normal, no Freon retouch needed. Checked the fuse, fine. But I never checked the relay. Someone told me that it is the inside control buttons because it keeps turning on by itself. Turns on while on off position but no A/C just air.

Hi,

There is a blower motor relay that is mounted to the bottom of the blower motor assembly. It will be under the dash on the passenger's side of the vehicle.

I'm not sure that would cause the AC not to work, but it will create problems with the blower motor if it has failed.

Take a look at the pictures below. Locate the relay and disconnect it. Check for any evidence of wiring or connector overheating or damage.

Let me know what you find.
