Compressor doesn't run. Checked all relays under the hood for the wire colors shown in Chilton manual and found the ones for the A/C. I permanently labeled them for next time.
Bypassed the Compressor Clutch Relay contacts and compressor still doesn't run. Put 12v on the contact going to the clutch and the clutch pulls in. (doesn't really sound normal and the little bit I ran it, I didn't feel any cooling affect on the line from the compressor. Maybe I didn't do it long enough. )
When I jumpered the clutch relay contacts I also checked them for
12volt with a meter and got nothing. Since the Chilton drawing says that 12volts should be there "at all times", I think the fuse must be blown. But where is it? It appears from the drawing that it is not part of the normal fuse block with all the others. According to the drawing it is not a fusable link, it is a real fuse. Where is it? What does it look like? Anybody know?I'll mention this also, because the same fuse feeds the Low Speed Fan Relay. The radiator fan may not be working either but I am not familiar with how it should work, so I am not really sure. I do know this much. I touched the fan blades and they moved very hard. I moved them back and forth for awhile and it freed up. But I still haven't seen it run.
So, anybody know where that fuse is?
