No A/C
Hello everyone,
Was wondering if someone could help me out with my A/C problem. I have a 2007 F- 250
Last time I used my A/C it worked great until I rear ended someone, light accident no damage except my A/C is not working now. Any suggestions would be appreciated

A minor hit in the front "could" have sent a shard of metal or plastic into the AC condenser, releasing the refrigerant. From what you describe, likely not.
Have the system pressures checked and go from there for diagnosis.
If the condenser isn't damaged, it was not caused by the accident.

Does the A/C compressor try to start? If not the front end bump might have jarred an electrical connection loose or damaged something else.
A back yard mechanic test for charge still remaining in the system would be to quickly "bump" one of the Shrader fittings to see if there's anything still under pressure. If not then its off to the good and qualified A/C mechanic and open your checkbook. (Hopefully not though!)
