May I ask how is the A/C not working?
Blower fan works?
Is the compressor not coming on?
It makes a distinctive click plus a little rattle for the first second of operation on the Mirage. So you could tell if you are used to hearing the compressor's sound and feel from previous A/C usage.
I'm just wondering.
I have never heard the radiator fan coming on in my mirage and I have about 90% of my grill blocked.
Although I almost never idle it.
Driving mine down the road my coolant temp runs between 196°F to 206°F but that included some neutral coasting when I got these numbers with a cheap little scanner.
You should be safe driving it normally with forward motion as long as you will not let it idle too much like in a stop and go traffic situation! (until you can drop it at the dealer)
