I decided to take a look at my ac since I've been without it since I bought it. After figuring out the compressor wasn't engaging I needed to find out why. After further investigation I noticed some really bum wiring.
The two black wires off the compressor were spliced into the green wires on the tank below the compressor...
here's the green wire it was spliced into, if you look close you can see where they skinned back the cover...
Next after reading the service manual a bit I find that an orange wire is supposed to go to the two black wires, there's also a org/brown wire for diagnostics (I can't find this wire). There's an orange wire that was laying down beside the compressor that I think is the one to the compressor...
Can anyone confirm this to be the correct orange wire to go to the blacks?
The service manual also says something about a pressure switch. Would this keep the compressor from coming on? I also cannot find the AC relay, manual says it's under the dash.
And last question. Would low refrigerant keep the compressor from kicking on?
pretty long but I hope someone can help me out. Thanks!
and after all that I forgot to say 88XJ
