A/c problem

[BMWX5girl]

I have a 2011 x5e70. I used my car this morning and had no problem. I get an in my car and no ac at all. Not even a little. What could cause this to happen in a matter of hours and so suddenly? Any ideas?

Can you be more specific as to what "no ac" means? Is the vehicle blowing warm air or is it blowing no air at all?

If it's blowing warm air, you could be out of Freon or your Heater Control Valve could need replacement.

If the vehicle is not blowing any air at all, it could be your fan or your Final Stage Resistor could be shot.

I've had this issue on my E36 M3 a couple of times. The Final Stage Resistor would go out and the vehicle wouldn't blow any air...

Charged with can of freon -9 both sides! Kits they sell are super easy to read! Pulled trigger said below green area so pulled and just moved can side to side! Was -28 on passenger side and -15 on drivers! 👍

Sorry I wasn't specific. It blows hot air.
