Well, I received the relay and wired it up the way pnora suggested. I had a little problem with the t connector on the wire before the thermostat, but I finally fixed it, was real tight to get in behind the dash. I tested it out and it worked great! Once started I turned on the air and gave it a...
I was going to use the wire going to the compressor but pnora said I should use the one before the thermostat with a relay. I don't think I can use the compressor wire because it looks like its 14g and not 12g wire and the solenoid requires a 12g wire. I'll have to look at it again but I think I...
Great, I will buy a relay and wire off the BLU(02). I see now why you wouldn't want to wire it from the compressor wire due to the cycling. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!
Ah, OK, so I should wire it before that switch, that would be the BLU(02), or would BLU(04) also work? I am going to have to get under the dash to find it, that's going to be a pain!
Thanks guys! The directions for the solenoid says to use a 12g wire, I have to check to see what the wire that controls the compressor is. I may have to use a relay. I'm thinking it may blow a fuse, not sure.
1969 RR 383 with classic auto air. I bought an idler solenoid because when I turn my air conditioner on, the idle goes down. Do I wire this to the wire going to the compressor? It says to wire it to a switched 12v but I only want it to go on when the air is on?
Thanks!
I'll get some pics tomorrow, there is more than a 3/4" from the rad. From what I was reading, as long as I have a shroud it would be OK because it will funnel the air. I'll have to leave the fan where it is if its going to stay half to three quarters in the shroud.
Its close to the rad, could be better but if I put a spacer on the fan it will be to far into the shroud. The cooling is not bad, when the air is on I run 205 - 210, that was in traffic but I had mostly green lights....lol
