When I was tracing out the lines, I found the AC Comp clutch wire went to the plug for the ECU. The wire to/from the AC Amp was in another location. I pulled the wire out of the ECU plug and was going to connect it to the pigtail to/from the AC amp. That way I'd be bypassing the plug and the...
Update. Some success, more questions....I hooked up the ignition wire to the spade terminal on the AC Amp. Turned on the key and pushed the blue button and had power to the wire that goes to the AC compressor. Unfortunately it didn't shut down when a turned off the blue button. Note- All of...
2004 L59 5.3. The newer PCM is the issue. My understanding is that if the LC doesn’t have a digital on/off signal to the PCM, it won’t work. I’m no expert, just learning by necessity. If you learn something else, let me know
My PCM is 12586242 and isn't on the list that accepts a physical AC on request. So I have to control my AC the old fashioned way. No idle up. And physically wired to the binary switch. The physical request is the blue on/off button.
From what I read, only select ECUs take the on/off signal from the button. I unfortunately do not have one of those ECUs. So, I won't have Idle up, but that hasn't been an issue in the past.
Trying to get the AC sorted on my 88 FJ62. I am knee deep in my dash and have some questions. After a lot of study I have a plan, but still some questions. If you look at my notes (see pictures below), the current set up bypasses the AC Amp, by wiring the AC switch directly to the AC...
Thank you so much!! Great video and follow up video on wiring up the switch. Pretty simple. As for the Idle up, I'll have to check if my ECM supports. Not sure what WOT is. I appreciate all that you have posted. The video was the baby step I needed, now I understand it a little better...
Hi all, need to hijack this post.... I bought my 62 with a swap already done. I have the AC on/off switch wired directly to the AC clutch. The problem is that it freezes up and I have to manually turn it off and let it thaw out before it works again. I had to replace the evaporator box...
Can anyone tell me how to take the ball out of the linkage arm? I'd like to separate the arms but don't want to break anything. Are they just press out? I haven't wanted to destroy the boots that cover the joints. Thanks
Oh man, people are digging up old stuff. Trying to remember. I think I took off the steering wheel and removed the whole
Column. Once it’s on the bench, you can unbolt it. It was obvious mine had been compressed, so I replaced the column.
Yes, SMS did them. Took forever, but it was worth it. They didn’t punch the holes for the push pins, but took care of it. They have all the templates to do it
I know she’ll make it. tree beard has been a much loved truck and I am sure Nate is happy that you have continued to use her as much as he did! Only advice… know where the gas stations are. Know how far you get on a tank and stop early. I almost learned the hard way in Montana. Still not...
