This winter i had the HVAC die, no fan power in the cabin with all the controls working. Replaced FSR and that did the trick. With warm weather coming in to Philadelphia, I turned the AC on earlier in the week and was met with ambient temp air blowing out of vents. Yes I did rotate the center dash hot/cold dial, to no avail.

I took a look at the AC compressor in the engine bay with AC on max in cabin. It looks like the clutch is not spinning (I’m assuming with engine on and belts rotating, the disc at the front of the compressor should be spinning ?) there is a chattering/whine when the AC is on, not sure if that is relevant. With engine off I could rotate that disc with my hand freely....

So my questions are, what is best next step? I saw something about that relay dying but nothing much for DIY. There are myriad YouTube videos for M54/common bmw problems, but not much on this really. Any help is much appreciated!
