Default E39 A/C - R.I.P.?

Hello. Can anyone help me? The Air conditioning module in my e39 stopped
working. I´ve tried pressing the auto button, AC Button, every button! The
lights and display are all ok, but even in the maximum "power", i still get
no air out of the system. Any hints?
Thanks in advanced

It could be a dead compressor, low refrigerant, etc. You need to take the
car the shop.

Check your fuses first. In all likelihood you'll be going to the shop
anyway, because if there's a fault that caused a fuse to blow, it's probably
going to be there to blow the replacement fuse as well. But checking fuses
first could help troubleshooting.

If the fans aren't running, likely the final stage resistor, an all too
common problem. If you get cold air at speed on the fresh air setting this
would confirm it.

What does the ambient temp read in your instrument cluster?

No air flow? Have you checked the microfilters?
