Outsane,
My A/C diode failed recently and would stick the fan on all the time, mine is connected to the battery not the ignition, so it can run whenever it feels like it(MD doesn't get too many days over 100*f). DCC told me that the A/C clutch can stick and it will backfeed the line, IDK, he said it could have been a diode failure on the A/C, they have a new chip for my controller that doesn't let this spike affect the controller....don't know if this could have happened to yours also.

 

yeah something is screwy with my fan set up...

going to rewire it all when I get a new continuous solenoid relay deal make for glow plugs..

 

Other then vacuuming the system, were you able to do it yourself? I will need to convert.

 

Terry are you talking about converting the AC to R-134a... I had some help..

I vacuumed myself, picked up the vacuum from harbor crap

 

Yeah I was.. I was hoping it was a do it your selfer. I enjoy driving my 4Runner, but not a sauna on wheels. It is something that is going to start gettting attention soon.

 

It's not a hard job, give it a shot. Just be gentle on the aluminum fittings.

 

New battery from Napa, and swapped out the relays in Parrallel one that is a little more stout to switch on the villager fan, still need to find some kind of a cap for the open terminals



Amazon Link

 

Dont know if one of the big home stores might have something to cap those off. Never run into that. But I would want ot get them covered also. Somehow I would find away to short it with a wrench if it was uncovered.

 

If you can't find caps for those treminals at any of the auto or home stores you could try an electrical whole sale place like C.E.D, ESSCO, or WESCO.

 

Yeah just need to make the trip out there

 

You will find caps for those at a boating/marine supply store.

 

Hadnt seen you on in awhile. Hoping everything is going ok for you.

 

Thanks Terry... just busy at work

and the new continuous solenoid relay melted.. so I am back to three relays in parrallel until I can find a better set up..

 

from Amazon:
150 Surge Amps, 75 Amps Carry for 5 Minutes....
What is that suppose to mean on an advertized continuous duty solenoid...doesn't continuous imply ...uh... continuous?

Is that the one that melted? I'd try to get a refund for misleading information.

The Nissan Quest/Mercury Villager fan i use, had 20amp relays attached to them. Now those relays IIRC are rated for 65amp surge, then 20amp constant.

i hope you get that sorted out, i know the feeling of wondering if the efan is going to kick on or not.

good luck

 

could have sworn i was subscribed. now i am!

 

I just love electrical. NOT.. Hope you find something that works. I cant help you there, even though I have had my fair share of electrical problems.

 

Started to tear out the carpet, to dye and insulate the floor board and found I had a clutch master cylinder leak..

Ordered a new Master cylinder that night.. drove to work..and it was hard to shift..

got home.. and the slave was leaking bad...

So I have now replaced the master and slave cylinder, I bought a new rubber clutch line to replace the old one.. .. but the old one didn't look bad and it would be a pain to replace..

 

hate when that happens.

 

I got to change the Master on my runner and slave on my flat bed. Not a bad job, on the Master Cylinder, make sure and keep the collar/ "O" ring under the fluid tank. It can be easy to miss and will leak.

Bench bleeding it makes it alot easier before installing it.

I just used some soap and water and got the metal cleaned before putting Peel and Seal on. It makes a difference. I think before I am all done with it I will use a total of 4 rolls. It made a big difference.

 

I must have done all this several months ago...


Pulled the carpet and power washed it


Here is what it looked like after the first coat... I ended up using 3 cans


the Booger helped me out a bit, mostly by not crying and being a good boy


Starting to lay down the peel and stick after wiping down the body with water and simple green


More peel and stick I used a razor blade to make my cuts


Starting to lay down the carpet


Back carpet all in and I tossed a seat in to drive to work for the week


Front end


Front Carpet in


Passenger side

I am not a fan of dying carpet, much of the dye has already worn off.

going to have to buy new carpet..

I am a fan of the Peel and stick
