Wooooo half-Way working AC!
Wooooo! I’m one step closer to getting a working Air Conditioning system in my car!
When I bought the car two years ago, the person I bought it from said the AC worked but just didn’t blow cold. Bull. About a year later I was looking around the fuse box and found that the 30A AC compressor fuse had not only blown, but also melted away the fuse holder as well. So it wasn’t that the system needed to be recharged, the damn system almost caught the whole car on fire!
Anyway, I just got to replacing the fuse holder with one that I bought from radio shack, and just to be safe threw a 20A fuse in there for the maiden voyage. When I put everything back together and turned the selector to “Max AC” I hear the awesome noise of the AC compressor kicking on after god knows how many years. I’m so excited! I was really afraid that the compressor had gone bad which was the reason for the busted fuse.
Now I just need to find a way to bootleg some R12 or equiv and I’ll be all set for me August roadtrip
