Hey guys... been having this problem for some time now but its gradually getting worse.

the fan for the a/c, the first 3 settings do not work. Lo * * Hi. The fan will only turn on when you switch it to high. what do you guys think it could be?

also, my a/c doesnt work either. the air doesnt get cold. before, when you have the fan on, and then push in the a/c button, you can hear the engine rev up but now, the engine doesnt rev up at all. does that mean the a/c isnt turning on or because its out of freeon (if thats what it uses)... what do u guys think?

i'm a roll down the window type of guy but dang, it sucks to be hot wearing a suit to work.


Thanks!

Josh

 

Regarding your problems with the fan, it's probably the resistor, portions of it burning out. Check out 4Crawler's website. He has a detailed description of the problem and the fix that has helped many, including myself on my 1st gen. It's an easy repair. A new resistor for my truck was about $15, as I recall.

One caveat: it's probably the resisitor so long as the fan doesn't work when you use the heater, as well. If you're fan speed problem is solely related to the a/c, then you can probably count the resistor out.


Hope this helps. Let us know what you find.

cooool! thanks for the info! i'll check that out. yeh, its for both the ac and heater.

thanks!

 

Ah, then you;re in luck. A $15 plun-n-play repair is always good for the ego and the wallet. As for your a/c issue, I had to get my 87 a rechartge last summer. The first place I took it to couldn;t get it right the first three times. I got a recommendation for a differnet shop and they fixed it in the first. It;s nice rdinbg in an old truck with a good working a/c unit. I think the recharge was about $150 for the service and some parts- Keep in mind these are DC-area prices (always high; gas at $3.20 for premium this morning). Anyway, good luck. H.

 

thanks for your help!


i just called the stealership, $47+tax for the resistor!
