Subaru tribeca air conditioner not working

My 2006 Tribeca air stopped working. Was perfect, all of sudden the compressor is not kicking in at all. I checked and it has a full charge of freon, fuses are good. Should I change the relay before taking it somewhere?

Check the power going to the compressor clutch with the AC switch on.If there is votage across the clutch, it may be bad. Not engaging.
If no voltage, you have test the circuit to see why no volts are there.

Testimonial: "yes, you nailed it, no power. I removed the relay and tested ion a bench, it sounds good but no continuity between the large terminals. No identifying marks on the relay, having a hard time looking up part number. But I think you led me to the proble, thank you!"

    Sweet, this helped me out too. I was having the same problem. I'm glad I can find help with Subaru repairs instead of having to go to a dealer to fix the issue.

SOURCE: 2006 subaru B9 Tribeca Error 66

Hello, I know exactly what your talking about! and why no one else did... The error code is being displayed on your trip/odo LCD screen at the bottom of your right gauge pod if I remember correctly. Only, it\'s not Er 66... it\'s (Er bb) which is a malfunction with your vacuum pump system. I truly hope this is the same concern you are asking about, if so I am happy I could help. If it is a different problem please let me know so I can look into this matter further. I\'ve added an "error chart guide" so you will have proof this time when/if you decide to return to the dealer... Good luck!! and I hope this info helps...(subytech1)...143162913

DO NOT buy bulbs anywhere other than SUBARU as replacement. They are specifically long life bulbs. Yes, availlable in other brands in other stores and more cost efficient but not in the long run..

SOURCE: how do I replace headlight on 2006 subaru tribeca

To remove light bulb from Tribeca B9 low beam simply 1) remove outer cap, 2) reach into round cavity holding bulb and disconnect two leads, 3) then press on one end of wire clip--the one with the larger bracket (use mirror to view then go by feel) and while pressing on wire move outward away from bracket and clip will swing up and out of the way while being held from falling away by screw on other side of bulb socket. 4) pull bulb out noting that there is a tang which goes back in the same location. Driver side is easier if you remove battery. Other side only requires you remove air intake vent to air box ----- two pop-outs hold it in. Do not take the front end of the car off or light unit out as suggested above.

SOURCE: running lights won't turn off

The parking light switch on top of the steering column has probably been accidentally turned on.

I have a 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca with no audio, no climate control illumination, and the homelink is not working as well. I checked the fuses but they are ok.

I just encountered the same problem with my 2007 Tribeca. Any info you've found as to what the problem is/was? Thank you!!
