After putting the truck back together f/ a rebuild in the fall, I couldn’t get the A/C to work. AC blew ice cold before tear down.
Here’s where I’m at: new compressor / clutch, after market dryer relocate, new condenser, system purged and charged at local AC shop. They dicked around with it but wouldn’t get in the dash. Said it had good pressure and held charge but compressor would never kick on. Running through FSM procedures for No Engine Idle Up When AC Switch On:
1. Magnetic Clutch - Engages on jumper to battery power
2. AC Control Assembly - Skipped this as the light comes on when I engage AC and all other controls work.
3. System Amplifier - Will come back to this as its way up in the driver side dash and it was never out of the truck.
4. AC Amplifier- came out of the truck when I pulled the wiring harness. Test procedures is as follows. 2nd test is 14-ECM Terminal ECT.
What and where is the ECM Terminal ACt?
