Ac issues

[old guy 713]

AC is not working. Car is a 2013 ltz 1.8. it took a lower front end hit that bent subframe and condenser along with fan and radiator. All have been replaced. What a job that was. AC still had pressure when disconnecting the condenser. Put it all back shot some freon oil mix and no compressor cycle. There is a plug at the bottom of the fender not attached to anything and nothing in the area to plug it into. Wondering if something was damaged and removed the AC needed to tell it to work? It was pretty banged up at yhe bottom of the plastic bumper even it's support was bent back a foot or so.

Check if the ambient temp sensor is in the grill and wired up. https://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/threads/ac-compressor-clutch-not-engaging.25411/

Thank you this looks like it could be the issue. It's at the shop right now for p0011 code. I did rock Auto the part and it looks like the plug I have laying inside the bumper.

The. Missing sensor was the issue. Couldn't get it to pop in so zip tie it is
As soon as the dash/tablet booted I had a temp of 84 and ac even tried to cycle. Hot it with super chill and now it's like a fridge. Way better than all summer with the heat cranked to keep engine cool. Now just.thenp0011 code and per.the manual I will be ohm testing a wiring harness.
