My AC went out on my 2022 Black Diamond yesterday after 3,000 miles. I had the oil changed yesterday morning and then in the afternoon the AC stopped blowing cold air. Could this be a fuse issue or something simple? Temp was mid 90's yesterday. Trying to avoid the crowded service department at the dealer. Any feedback would be appreciated.

It could be a bunch of different things, but a fuse probably isn't one of them.
Unfortunately you're just going to have to bring it in for service.

DM me your VIN, I'll see if there's something obvious on your VHR.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Mine went out around 4k miles last year, it was some relay/solenoid and Ford had it fixed within the week. The only lame thing is Ford didn't have any loaner vehicles but fortunately I had access to a extra car that a family member has.

No issue since, and the only issue I've had so far...

You should yell at the oil change place for breaking your A/C. That is what the typical oil change consumer would do so who are you to break protocol?

Take it to dealer to be looked at. There is a huge list of things that could be causing your issue and it is just hard to tell without having the car in-person (relays, leak in system causing low pressure switch to kick on, etc.). If you were out of warranty and self-fixing, that list might be worth mentioning but since it is in warranty just have them fix. I get not wanting to wait on the dealer, but if you are here asking, then I suspect you may not have much experience with A/C troubleshooting/repair which impacts our tips (nothing wrong with that, just makes it harder to help you diagnose). Otherwise I would direct you to check that your ac compressor clutch is engaging, put on gauges to check the freon level, then go from there based on what you found.

My sons 2022 bronco badlands ac is intermittent and compressor clutch is not engaging and only blowing hot air. I would assume to check refrigerant pressue 1st with guages, and if lo and hi are good, zero in on the pressure switches. My problem is I don't know where it (they) are in the engine bay. Anyone guide me with a photo to pressure ac switch (switches)??Thanks in advance US Navy Veteran

My 2022 Black Diamond had the AC go out on my way south from New Hampshire heading to Florida a few years ago. Maybe 10K miles or so on the clock. It was the compressor belt. It came off somehow. Put a new belt on (a pain in the ass) and it worked fine.
