My new (to me but 1993 version) trooper's air conditioning doesn't work at all, the button doesn't do anything or make any noises at all when I play with it!

However I have noticed in the fuse box there is a fuse "space" somewhere around the middle with the letters AC above, so am I right it presuming this is the fuse for the Air Conditioning and that I do need one in here?  Are all the fuse spaces supposed to be filled with fuses?  Or should there be gaps at all?

A good place to start - so I should go to the autoshop and ask for a fuse?  What do I require for this?  Size and amps?  Or do I need to take the trooper with me to show the man in the shop?


Tomorrow morning I have a guy coming round to re-gas the air con, and hoping everything will be working all OK.  I told him there was maybe a fuse missing and he said he would pinch one of the others to test it.  I am a bit worried about doing this and upsetting something else, or that it won't be the right fuse.  Would this be OK for testing purposes?

Not sure if its going to be up and running by tomorrow after he has been, or if there are any problems I don't yet know about?  If its going to cost too much I will just have to do without the air conditioning and open the windows instead.  But thought if its only the re-gassing to rectify it would be money well spent in getting it going and having the benefit - if and when we get our british summer!

Any advice or other comments would be helpful, as this is a great big learning curve for me. Thanks.

Sadly couldn't get it working this morning, so I still don't have air conditioning.  It needs a new part and I'm not sure how much its going to cost, unless I can source an already used part from a breakers yard, or other?

Oh well at least the weather isn't too hot, so not quite so important at the moment.
