Does anyone know where the fuses, relays etc are for the Air cond in an 88 Vitara ?? - I thought my Air Conditioning amp (black box under the glove box) was stuffed, but even after replacing it the ir cond is not firing up! - No power to the comp, (if I manually put power to it, it clicks and the the clutch engages).. I think there is a Relay for it all somewhere, but my wiring diagram doesn't show me which one it is ???

Cheers

Not sure if it applies to Vitara, but when some air conditioners have no gas in them, the compressor won't switch on, so I guess check that first. On my Sierra I recently followed the wiring from the compressor to up under the dash to find an inline fuse in there. Replaced that and everything is good again. Too bad I waited until Summer had ended to diagnose it :s

Bridge the TX valve at the drier and see if pump engages... If it does you are low on gas.

Yes I know, but it's just one of those things I need to organise .. and want to make sure everything is going to be ok before I get it done ... apparently I'm up for about $400 ? - to convert to new gas...
