Troubleshooting Hints - Compressor Controls

1. CHECK A/C Compressor operations in Heating, ventilation, and Air Conditioning.
2. CHECK that HTR A/c Fuse 12, IGN E MINIFUSE, and AC COMP FUSE are not open. If any Fuse is open, LOCATE and REPAIR source of overload and REPLACE the Fuse(s).
3. CHECK that Grounds G104, G104 and G200 (Diesel) or Grounds G103, G104, G105 and G200 (Gasoline) are clean and tight.
4. CHECK that A/C Compressor Clutch Relay is properly mated to its connector.
5. CHECK condition of Diode D104. REPLACE if either opened or shorted.
6. If the A/C Compressor is operating continuously, CHECK for short to ground on DK GRN/WHT (459) wire. If shorted to ground, LOCATE and REPAIR source of short.
- CHECK for broken (or partially broken) wire inside of insulation which could cause system malfunction but prove GOOD in a continuity/voltage check, with a system disconnected. These Circuits may be intermittent or resistive when loaded, and if possible, should be checked by monitoring for a voltage drop with the system operational (under load).
- CHECK for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems (Refer to "Troubleshooting procedures"). Diagnostic Aids
