  • Torque the mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.

4. Check and Replace AC Fuses

  • Tools Required: Fuse puller or pliers.
  • Locate the fuse box and identify the fuses related to the AC system.
  • Inspect each fuse visually for any signs of damage.
  • Replace any blown fuses with ones of the same amperage rating.

5. Verify Climate Control Settings

  • Ensure the AC switch and climate control settings are set correctly.
  • Check for any software updates for the climate control system, if applicable.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:
