No AC at all, possible leak?

I just finished replacing my stock HU/HVAC with another stock one and everything is working fine except there is no AC, none at all.

I know that there are problems with the cabin sensor becoming detached and the actual AC harness that connects to the circuitboard having problems but both of those are fine as far as I can tell.

There isn't AC when I turn the temperature all the way down (18 Celcius) so it doesn't seem like those would be a problem anyway. It must be out of refridgerant which would mean there is probably a leak, right?

On the other hand, I don't really understand what is in written in the sticky about the retaining clips on the AC harness. I never had to remove or slide them up when disconnecting or reconnecting the harness, just had to press in the release on the harness and pull it out to disconnect.

Could there be something else I can try?

Try to unplug it and plug it back in. Make sure you didnt pinch any wires when reinstalling. That happened to me when I changed my DD. Afterwards everything worked just fine.

Do you mean unplug and re-plug in the sensor or the harness? I'm pretty sure there isn't anything I can try with the harness behind the stereo, it's definately connected.

There are two fuses in the driver's side panel but they are for the blower and both are fine.

I am getting it looked at today, hopefully they can figure out what it is.
