Also the heater core is really hot in the front Evap assembly. I think the water valve is stuck open. Tried to clamp it off with some vise grips but it still seemed hot . Probably didn’t clamp good enough.
Is the valve held closed when the power to the A/C is on? Seems strange
And one last...
Ok got a new multimeter. What a difference. The A/C switch on the dash appears to not work. Jumped 435A to 435E and bypassed the switch. Got power all the way to the low pressure switch. Nothing past it. Jumped it and every thing turned on.
So it looks like the A/C switch is bad and possible...
What I’m trying to do is follow the origin of the power and see where it goes. If I find something that appears to not work I would bypass it. I got the clutch to engage and compressor to work for a short time by bypassing all of it by running a wire from batter to it. It turned on without any...
When I connect it to the - buss and + buss in the battery box I get 190.00ish this is set on DCV 200. When set on DCV 20 the numbers go up and then get a number 1 as a it’s over the limit of what it can read. I get the moving from 20 to 200 just moves the decimal. The tester some times not...
Thinking my cheap multimeter is not working right. The thing is all over the place. I tried the low speed on the fan kinda got the same results as before. I plugged in the water valve (435B) and lose power to the (435D) . Seems like the water heater valve is connected in some sort of way...
Tested some more wires today. Not sure how many volts I’m suppose to get but figured 24v. Got around 14+ until I got to front Evan temp switch. Got nothing on the 438 wire on other side. By passed it and then got nothing on the other side of the low pressure switch 436C. I notice I wouldn’t get...
So I attempted to put some r134a in but it did nothing. Nothing kicked on. Tried jumping the wires between both low and high pressure switches nothing. Followed wires to see where they went and connections. So I found a wired connector that’s capped off. Looks correct?
Picture attached.
what I...
This one might be a random fix. I just took my truck for a drive…..been fixing and painting it for some time. Went down the street and the cab filled with exhaust/smoke. Well upon further inspection I found that the vent/pipe that crosses over the engine was gone/ never there since I got it. So...
Haha figured I had it backwards. Any chance you have a similar reading on the gauges when off? I think I might go and put some R134A in and see what happens.
So I put some gauges on the unit today while it was off. And got some pressure in there. I didn’t bother trying it while on due to the clutch not engaging. Attached is a picture of what I got. In addition I can turn the clutch by hand.
Any ideas on what to try next?
How to jump it to get clutch...
Got around to testing some stuff. So my volt meter wasn’t work. I just jumped the wires on the dryer and the fans turned on under the wheel well. I did not see the clutch engaging on the a/c compressor. Also the fan under the wheel well was running while in heat mode and when fan on dash was...
