Fault code 13 on heater

[bigsteve]

Hi
Just had the air con regased, which all seems to be OK (no leaks etc) but the air con does not work, so did the fault check on the heater contoller, it came up with fault code 13, Evaporator sensor open or short circuit 5 degrees ( 41 F)

so the question is were in the heater / air con unit does it live, is it a xpart only unit or is there a BMW version of it, as its bound to be cheaper !!! is there a test I can do on it.

cheers for info

Had a really good look through the EPC and can find no parts to match description either by search or by all the pages for Air Con and Heating Systems.

First job Steve is check the black and white connections to the AC contol panel it is not unusual to find dislodged or pushed back pins
