compressor shouldn't be allowed to operate--correct? Anyone know where the low pressure switch and/or relay reside on an '84 300D? Should be right on the receiver/drier. -- Jim

Thanks Joe! So, is it possible that the compressor clutch is always engaged whenever the key is switched on, due to a faulty low pressure switch or compressor relay? Remember, this system presently has no refrigerant, so I assume the compressor shouldn't be allowed to operate--correct? Anyone

On my 79 TD, the LP switch (if I remember right) is down low on the left on the refrigerant pipe, I think there is a fitting there with the referenced device, and a wire(s) coming out of it. I think it traces back to the compressor. It is fairly easy to get at, and to see if it is

The compressor should run almost all the time that the engine is running if the climate control is anywhere besides Off or Economy. (assuming there's at least SOME refrigerant in there). Levi On 7/4/06, Zeitgeist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey, can someone with a 123 CD* post one or all of the

Those files are mainly for manual a/c, Casey. I've scanned the wiring diagram from my paper manual for acc2, stripped from list copy, which I think might provide much of what you need. 83.8-603/15. Those things aren't really legible in the cd version anyway. joe -- next part

I'm attempting to diagnose my wife's '84 300D A/C, and can't quite figure out where all the components reside. The steaky and braingears sites have apparently gone AWOL. I ran my RobinAir vacuum pump on the system for an hour, and it held for at least an hour afterwords, so I leaked some

so I fixed that, and it now engages. The system maintains a high/low pressure of 75 psi at rest, and 90 psi with the engine running--the same on both sides in each case. Help, I'm an idiot. Hey, ya idjit, close the manifold valves! Did you see the part of my story where the gauge-set hoses
