Some Chevrolet Sonic owners report experiencing issues with their air conditioning not functioning due to a lack of power to the compressor, despite having good components. These problems may stem from electrical issues within the system that prevent power from reaching the compressor. Additionally, a faulty ambient air temperature sensor could be responsible for this lack of power, which may be resolved by replacing the sensor. Some owners also find that a faulty thermostat can lead to similar issues, where temporarily disconnecting and reconnecting the battery might provide a temporary fix, but addressing the thermostat is essential for a long-term solution. Furthermore, there may be underlying computer or relay problems that hinder the compressor's operation. It is advisable for owners facing these challenges to consult a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs.
