Howdy!!! I have a problem with my 2010 Coupe's AC. everything in the controls work, the blowers work correctly but the Clutch is not ingaging on the compressor because there is no voltage going to the compressor. I checked for voltage and there was nothing to make the clutch ingage. I checked the fuse under the hood and it is good. under the driver side fuse compartment I didn't see another fuse that is for the AC. Is there another place I should be looking for fuses? is there anything else I should check or can you please tell me what steps to follow to get it working Please
Thank You for the help

I haven't had clutch problems but my AC stopped working. Blows fine, heater even works. Found out my AC temp sensor was missing. I haven't replaced it yet because the weather is beautiful in San Diego. Hope this helps

Shouldn't this be covered under warranty?

AC temp sens is in the engine bay. I think towards the front. I got an aftermarket bumper and my guess it wasn't secured properly and fell off.

Yes I do. I got 38000 Miles. I just bought it and pimped it out for my daughter's grad present but I am having those issues. the car reads the outside temp just fine. but the ac doesn't cool because there is no signal for the compressor to start pumping.

is this sensor the one for the outside temp? Cause the outside temp is working fine. if it isn't I would really appreciate the help to find it. I just dont know where to look for the problem. Do you know how many places it has with fuses and where they are located? There is one on the driver side under the dash and one under the hood. is there any other place?

thanks for the help and response

Thats the one Nissan told me was missing for my AC to not work. Not sure why the outside temp out matter but that's what I was told. Like i said, I still haven't fixed it.

does your car show the outside temperature on your digital read out? Maybe its another sensor that it has for the AC?
