    Can someone help me please?

    I took my '06 Prius in for the pedal recall and the water pump recall. Ever since I got it back my A/C has not worked properly. Has anyone else had this problem? Could they have disconnected it to install the part and not reinstalled it correctly? Any other ideas?

    Thanks so much!
    Chrissy :)

    Howdie..Welcome to PC!! I had same done to my car and my ac is fine.
    What exactly is wrong and is it throwing any codes/alarm lights on the dash?

    Have you checked the cabin filter behind the glove box?

    I just had the recalls done on my 2006 without incident. I can't see how the AC would be affected, unless someone really screwed up. Obviously you need to talk to your dealer.

    If your AC is out, that is most likely due to not getting all of the air out of the Inverter coolant loop. This can cause the inverter to overheat and shut down lower priority electric loads to protect the electronics. Get back to the dealer as they need to go back through the coolant bleeding process.

    After my recall I checked the bleed, it was insufficient! :mad:
