So I have 2 issues regarding my a/c.
1) I cant figure out how to wire it. I have connected and tested and reconnected and retested and repinned and retested, still nothing. When I hook a hot wire up to the compressor, the clutch engages. So the clutch is fine, its just my wiring. It is getting hotter than hell here too and I would like to get this hooked up as soon as possible.
2) Im reusing the 3.0 compressor, which means I need to swap out the pulleys. When I do this, do I need to swap out the whole clutch assembly as well? I want to reuse it because I don't want to open the system and it was working awesome before the swap.
Any input is appreciated!

 

There is absolutely NO information on this website about wiring up the A/C so don't even bother searching for it.

 

lol ya because there wasn't a thread uk pretty much explains exactly how and I confirmed.....

 

and this was literally last week.....

 

GOT IT WORKING!! All I had to do was splice in the clutch wire to the AC wire to the ECU. But after I did that, the light on the dash wouldn't come on and the clutch wasnt engaging. After a few days of dicking with it i tore into the dash to find the ac amplifier. I found that I had no power to anything on it. After much searching I found the stupid, cowardly hiding ac fuse that had blown. All this time I thought I was hooking it up wrong and it was just a fuse! Pretty excited at this point. Now all I need to do is swap out the clutch because Im using the 3.0 compressor.

 

Hey man where is that fuse? I have my own problems with AC I have posted on here before about it with no answers, but take it somewhere and pay lots of money for somethin you could do if you could figure it out.

 

ugh stupid fuses!!!!!!! nice that you got it working. I think I may have to take mine in, as I think I have air in the lines, and I don't know how to get it out. Unless there is an easy way of doing so?

 

I have air in my lines, works perfectly well. Infact it gets colder quicker then my 02 Maxima and 04 Quest, and my father in laws Forester.

 

From everything I've read it's behind the glovebox on the right side pillar by the ECU someplace. I need to tear into mine too... green light but no AC.

 

Its right next to the COR. Above pass kick panel.

 

Thats exactly where its at. It is in a little white case. It is labeled as AC too so you should find it fairly easy now. Just pull the glove box out and look to your right. Its almost directly behind where the speaker is.

 

I noticed today that my idle went up a little for some reason.. Its not just below 1000. What is the normal idle on these motors?

 

i dont know off hand but look in the FSM in the AC section and it is there for ac off and on.

 

750 ish. Idle goes up typically with small vac leaks. The 3.0 ac has an idle up control run off vacuum but it's not needed with the 3.4 ecu connected to the 3.0 ac amp. The 3.4 ecu controls the idle up. Mine idles at a shade under 1000rpms with ac on.
