Toyota Sienna Air conditionned 98, the air stopped working without giving any signal, typically the compressor always makes a noise when you use it but now neither the noise and cold air or anything, you think the compressor is lost, as I change or as I do a test to see what is wrong, and check the fuses but everything is ok, thanks for your help.

    If the system losses its refrigerant pressure charge the low pressure switch disables the power supply to the air conditioning compressor clutch to save the compressor for self destructing and sending debris thought the system. You need to put pressure gauges on the a/c ports to see what the system charge is and then trouble shout hte electrics if need be.
