Hi, I have a 91 bmw 325i and had a air compressor and expansion valve installed and still have no cold air. The panel to the a/c and circulation switches has pulled away a little and the switches themselves do not stay depressed so I have them stuck in with a little piece of toothpick. The refrigerant is full. My question is could the air not be working due to a relay?
I am not a mechanic just would love some cool air in this Florida heat. Thank you!

Ok
Welcome to the Forum!
Is the A/C compressor cycling?
Does the pusher (front) fan kick on when the compressor cycles.
I would look at getting those switches replaced from a pick-n-pull or similar near you, as E-36's are rather plentiful in yards as of late.

Thank you so much for your response!
Yes the fan is running and the compressor is brand new and cycling. I will try the switches next. Thanks again.
