My car radio was stolen and now my air conditioner won't work. How do I fix the A/C wires?

Question

My A/C was working before my radio was stolen. I assume some of the wires for the A/C in the dash got disconnected or broken. How can i go about fixing the A/C? Which wires need to be connected in the dash? Where can I take it to be fixed for a cheap price?

Answer 1

It is most likely the blower for the A/C is not working, the blower motor should not be on the same circuit for the radio, but it might be. I believe a wire(s) have short circuited blowing the fuse. First I would isolate all the wires and tape each one off, then I would check the fuse box, look for the obvious ones, like "A/C or Heater Blower" your owners manual, if you have it should help identify what fuses to check, sometimes they are just numbered and you have to look them up.

edit:

There should be more fuses under the hood, these are main fuses, and other major accessory fuses, you should check those as well

Answer 2

first make sure no wires are touching in the place where your radio used to be. then check all of your fuses-under hood and inside fuse panels.it may only be a fuse from the robbers shorting out the wires when tearing it out. if that dont work they could be disconnected from the controls on your heater-a/c panel on your dash. try this stuff before you call your local garage.
