Hi all, the A/C on our 2013 LC5 has suddenly stopped working, on our old 120 the indicator light would flash if the pressure was low (I think from memory), the light is currently on. On my 120 it was the relay, so I swopped it for another identical one on the fuse board to confirm it was this that was the problem. I want to do the same on our 150, and there is another identical relay but it says its for the 'ST 2 oil pressure', I'm a bit reluctant to mess with it as I'm not sure what it does.
Can anyone throw any light on this or suggest where I can get a relay that doesn't require a loan from the IMF!

I would look elsewhere before a relay, poss a fuse but more likely to be a loss of gas

Well, took it to my local garage who are an A/C centre and have diagnostic equipment, no leeks and no loss of coolant, which is what I had thought. I had already checked relay and all fuses including the one under the dashboard, a further diagnostic has flagged up an open circuit pressure sensor, so have ordered one, fingers crossed.

Did I say 'coolant', refrigerant of course, incidentally I had a 2003 120 with 180k miles, never needed re gassing, but did need a relay.

Yes I was going to pick you up on that but you will have to have it repassed after the Pressure switch, but I would take it to a gas place first to recover the gas
as its illegal to vet the gas to air

well it turned out to be the pressure sensor, all good now. OBD port did its job.
