teixeira Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hi all, I need some help regarding the manual air conditioning. I don't it but I bought all the parts needed so that I can put it in place. The thing is, on the Evaporeator Box there's on top a small plug, but I can't find the wires for it.... From the Service Manual I can say that it is the Thermo Control Amp. but doesn't show how to plug it or where are the wires for it. Is this a thing for the Automatic Air Cond. and not for the Manual? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) the plug should be up behind the glove box, and yes the manual air conditioning has it. Edited May 29, 2011 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) That's the one and I can't find it... on my Service Manual only shows it for the automatic... Is there a chance that I don't have the plug and have to wire it myself? if so I'm screwd. Oh, forgot to say that on the Auto Air Conditioner section says, quote: "Thermo Control Amp.: The thermo control amplifier is installed on the top of the cooling unit. It detects the temperature of the evaporator using a thermistor and turns the compressor on or off" Do you also have this on your manual? Just can't understand if this makes sense for the manual.

vagabond Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) It should be taped up in the loom with blue tape if I remember correctly, Although some didn't have the short pigtail and it came in the install kit. You might have to go to JY and get the pigtail Edited May 30, 2011 by vagabond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 in the FSM under the manual A/C system it also shows the thermo control amplifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) Yeap, it shows but doesn't say anything about it nor connected like in the Auto section does. That's why I was in doubt and confused. And I can't find the freacking plug under the dash was hoping it was only for Auto.

vagabond Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I thought I'd check the wiring on the 88 prod. date 05-88 anyway here's a pic of the wiring it's in the loom with the plug for the resistor block Here's another of the 94 prod date 2-94 I guess the pigtail I mentioned in the earlier post was for the86 1/2 hb and 87s I know when I installed the a/c in my 87 I had to go back to the JY and get the pigtail. Anyway hope the pics help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks man it really helps, pics are always better. Hope I can find it or going to a JY for a Terrano or Pathfinder will be really difficult to find and with AC... By the way when you got the pigtail can you tell where it goes? is it for the ac switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 As you can see from the pics the plug for the evap comes off the loom that goes to the fan resistor, on my 87 when I installed the JY A/C the the plug for the pigtail came out of the main loom above the heater box. Neither the 88 or the 94 I have now needed the pigtail the plug for the evap, it was already in the loom going to the resistor block. If you can't see the plug maybe it was cut off by the other owner, I'd check the loom going to the resistor block and maybe even open it up to see if you can find the wires you need the basic colors should be blue and green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teixeira Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Now I get it thanks for the help. I removed the glove box only to search for it, in this case I might have to pull the dash out... but I don't believe that the previous owner would cut it off and now I know exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
