Guys,
I have no doubt that the incisive posts I've read hear about how easy it is to 'reflow' the solder connections on my wife's 94 nonturbo 940's air conditioning control unit -- but geez, getting it out sounds like a PAIN! (Great instructions on how to do it though - thanks!)Yet sometimes, according to posts I've read here, it STILL doesn't work once you've put it all back in. That would truly suck, dudes. So... I've replaced the long tube to the collector doohicky that was leaking (auto tranny cooling lines had rubbed a hole in it) and have re-pressurized the system -- but still had no AC clutch engagement until I applied direct power -- then the compressor blew ice cubes -- so I surmised that a) the control unit was bad, and b)the AC cooling system is just fine. So why not, I asked my shade tree friend, just run anAC bypass switch? There's at least two little panels on the dash that would perfectly fit a lighted rocker switch. I can run 16 gauge wire into the switch, which will be rated for 20 amps, along with an in-line fuse also rated for 20.
Will not, gentlemen, this work just fine? Only question is, where to I attach it on the AC system...
Guys, you are excellent posters. I welcome any sage comments. Thanks!
I'm enjoying this site a lot!
