After having my 2006 sorento repaired from a head on collision, my ac compressor ceases to turn on when pushing the ac button. I've checked all fuses and relays and find no faults. Is there a plug that might have been missed In the engine compartment or in the dash behind the ac controls. A schematic would be helpful.

MasterThis should have been repaired during the front collision repair, Bring it back to the body shop or call your insurance and complain that the repair wasn't done completely

Either take it back to the body shop, they should be capable of fixing it, or find a Kia or Mitsubishi specialist.
