Why doesn't my Focus' air con work?
I had an accident a couple of weeks ago, which damaged the wing, wheel and bonnet of my Ford Focus (2006 model). Since then the air con has stopped working. Could this failure be due to the impact?

The crash might have damaged the a/c condenser, which is like a little radiator suspended under the front of the car. If it is damaged, the damage to it will be obvious.
