****..... need some help on my A/C

ok so... i tried to pull my stock headunit out to fix my radio attenna because i might've pulled it out when i installed my audio-link for my ipod. After taking everything apart, i couldnt pull out the harness/connector behind the a/c control for like an hour so i put everything back together and gave up. Couple days later i tried to use my a/c (for the first time after pulling out my headunit, i dont use my a/c much) and it doesn't turn on. All the buttons work except for the A/C. Defroster light comes on, rear defrost comes on, recirculate light comes on, but the A/C light doesnt. and when i turn the fan speed ****, no air blows out. At high speeds, (above 3k rpm) air blows out which is suppose to happen but thats the only time it blows air out. the buttosn still work like... the defroster, choice of either blowing the air towards teh feet or head but the a.c doesnt come on.

so i'm thinking i might've fcked up the wire when i was trying to pull out the connector.

or the fuse could be bad but i checked all the fuse in the car next to driver door and they're fine, and the fuses under the hood, i have no clue how to check them. i cant use a test light for those fuses. i'm not 100 percent sure how to use my multimeter yet either.

oh i also didnt disconnect the batt, could that be the problem?

i want to take it to the dealership but they might give me **** about the audio link, and not fix it under warranty. so... i decided to ask you guys first on what could be the problem. this weekend sucked by the way, since it rained like 4 days straight, i couldnt put my windows down, nor could i defrost my window, and i was swettin like hell.

i apologize for the lengthy post but i wanted to be really specific.

Thats why u should've never brought an ipod in the first place. iPod is garbage anyway.

it sounds like you fudged something up with your headunit, as far as you know the A/C control is on the HU's board as well.

Take your ipod link out and bring it back to the dealer maybe

Unhappy Try.....

Not much help with A/C, but you could try the fuse under the hood marked "ac clutch", it's near the bottom of the box, 10 amp.
