Does this vehicle have a low pressure switch, relay and/or fuse that helps control this air condition circuit?

Hi,

There are several fuses related to the system and there is a triple pressure switch which is located at the top of the receiver dryer. Additionally, there are relays to consider.

I'm not sure what is happening to the vehicle, so I can't suggest what to check. If it isn't working in general, take a look through this link and see if it helps:

Also, I attached the entire wiring schematic below for the manual AC system. If you have automatic temperature control, let me know and I'll get you those schematics.

Here is a link you may find helpful if you need to check the wiring:

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe

I think it has automatic air control for the air condition. See if you have anything on that.

Hi,

No problem. I attached the schematics below for the automatic system. Again, I had to cut the pics in half to make them readable, but I did overlap them.

Take care and I hope this helps.

How much voltage should I get from the trinary switch that is in picture 2 that you sent me?
How do I check this trinary switch?
I think it's for high pressure a low pressure.

Hi,

I believe you are referring to the triple pressure switch. There should be a 5v reference to it via the orange wire at connectors one and three.

In the manual, they are not showing a test procedure but reading through the schematics, that is what I getting from them.

Let me know.

Joe
