Subject:Wire to A/C compressor, '85 Westy
From:Mike Collum
Date:Wed, 12 May 2004 10:59:42 -0400

Sometime during the winter, the wire to the A/C compressor went "somewhere"
... I know not where.

Currently, the black wire that exits from the compressor connects to a red
wire that broke.  There are only about 2 inches of red wire beyond the
connector.

I cannot find the other end of this wire in order to effect a repair.  All I
know is it used to go off to the left toward the coil, but I can't find a
broken wire nor a connector that's missing an input.

Bentley seems to indicate that it goes to a connector that's between the A/C
compressor cut-out relay and the idle speed stabilizer valve but offers no
location for the connector (1980~1991, pps 97.137 and 97.138).

Where is the compressor cut-out relay physically located?  I may end up
having to run a new wire unless one of you with an '84 or '85 Westy with A/C
can help with where this red wire is supposed to connect.

My '84 7 passenger has A/C but its red wire runs under the van to the
driver's wheel well where it enters the vehicle, so it's no help.

Thanks,

Mike
