A/C Problem...Replaced Resistor pack...What now? 850 1995

Hello...

My A/C has been intermitent for a while, and finally failed. I replaced the resistor pack, and seemed to work ok for a few days, but now back to being intermitent. When it does work, the fan motor spins up to speed slowly (4-5 sec) and then seems to operate fine.

Any ideas gang?
TIA!
Alan.

    Do this next I have a same problem; it work when it want to and than stop for few day and work ..

    remove the cover leave it all open......

    now turn you air conditoner on... if it stop than it will not run.. so do this go over to passanger side where all the wirring is.. start to move them around 1 or 2 at the time very slowly.. and at the same time look to see if the airconditioner kick on... just plug and unplug the wire hardness around that are...

    with mine what happen is 1 lose connection make the fan work now an than nothing wrong with the resistor pack...


    it make take few times.. but you will narrow it in see wich one is the lost connection... mine every time I touch those wire harness the dammm thing work than it stop after feww weeek than I touch it again it come back on.. lose connection forsure...

    dealer said resistor pack and fan I don't think so.. when it work all great when it stop it dead by touching the wire it work said hope this heopp;.

      removed the blower and then the connector. TUrns out the connections are actually worn...vibration probably....these connectors really should be different....

      anyway, pinched them down, and replaced everything, works like a CHAMP!!

      Thanks!!!!!
