Qashqai A/C not working

[Lawless1994]

Hi All. 

 

I have a 2017 Qashqai, The A/C isn't working properly, The issue with it is that when trying to adjust the temp or fan speed neither will increase or decrees, the display will show the temp and fan Speed change but nothing happens. The only way I can adjust the heat and fan speed is by turning the car off and back on again (doesn't change with the stop/start has to be completely off doors locked from outside, the re-enter), And even then the A/C will only work for 30 seconds to A minute. Anyone else have this issue or know what might be causing it?.

 

Thanks

It sounds like the air con system could do with checking out, e.g. gas pressures and then see if this makes a difference with it cutting out

Lawless1994, did you ever figure out what was wrong? I'm seeing this now also. Not just A/C but winter time heat. For example, today in freezing rain conditions I turned on the front defrost manually with full fan to heat up the windshield rapidly. It worked nicely for about 30 seconds then automatically drops down to low fan speed. I have to stop the car, turn it off. It works for about 20 or 30 seconds then repeats the issue. Thank-you.
