Just put the intercooler on today. Removed my active grille shutters as well. There are 2 sensors that I pulled from the active grille shutters, could that be a problem? I should also note the spot on my radio where it normally says the temperature is also not working! Someone help please! 2018 mustang eco base model! Thanks!

Nevermind, figured out the issue...
Willing to let the rest of us know in case someone else does the same thing? Unless it was something humiliating of course, then you absolutely should share! :crackup:

Yeah, kinda embarrassing, but hey, live and learn, right. So what happened was I took off my grille shutters when i was replacing the intercooler. In the process, there were 2 sensors, one attached to the shutters, one attached to the car. One was to read ambient temps, one was to control the shutters. Well, me not knowing any better I took them both off and forgot to plug them back in. The grille shutter was the check engine light, the ambient temp sensor was why the ac wasnt working. I plugged them back in and it took a little while but the check engine light turned off and the ac now works. Lol. Just a little fyi for anyone doing this or has their ac go out. Check those sensors. Car still throws a cel for the shutters but only on the accessport, not on the dash. Hope I have no more issues, but luckily it was just my stupidity and nothing too serious. Could have been worse i guess. Lol.. Also, one last note: tune+ website has common issues that go wrong during some of these simple mods so check that out on their website if a cel pops up after a mod or tune. Hope this helps someone!
