This happend to me...it's your battery...the computer on the FG apparently senses low battery voltage and disengages the air con compressor...this used to happen to me intemitently...changed battery and the problem is gone. (was told this by a Ford Dealer)

This will be your problem if your air con works intemtitently...as in you might drive somewhere with the air con working no problem, then stop the car,then you restart it and the air con is not working.

Also check your battery connections for sulfur build up etc...

If your air con is just dead in the water and the problem is not intermittent...then it could be an air con relted problem.

I had the same thing happen to mine. It dropped out on a few really hot days in Mackay. Finally decided to take it to Ford. It ended up being a small bit of plastic the rotates the air doors behind the dash, it had snapped. Apparently a fairly common issue. So they just replaced it and has been all good since. the computer knew what the issue was and threw a code.

Do you know if they removed the dash to fix your problem? Have the same problem and im just out of warrenty....I got an error code b1242 from memory.
