Air Con EC light on all the time
C180 (W203) 2ltr salloon 2002
Had the aircon gas charged last year and also filled with STP Super Seal bought from halfords, air con has worked for longer this time so STP Super Seal works to a point.
Now after leaving the car at home for 2 weeks while on holiday, come back and the air con no longer works and the EC light is permanently on and will not turn off, having read some forums, there is mention of a temperature sensor that could be faulty, where is this sensor fitted, and wher can it be bought?
Also if anyone has any other ideas they would be gratefully received.

Out Of Control!!
Your EC light is lite because you do not have the required amount of refrigerant(you have a leak) to safely run the compressor---have your AC guy place gauges on the car to correct the issue--- if you don't have the tools or experience this is not a DIY!!
