Title: Numerous issues! Air Con, Dash and Cruise...
Post by: GmasterT on 12 June 2015, 00:37:53
(1996 mishmash 3.0 ex auto now manual)
First...
Just sorted out a long overdue aircon pipe issue (and swapped the compressor too)
Had it regassed but the compressor wont 'kick' in (and I dont remember the old one doing so either)
Has about .2v to the plug. Swapped the relay but no joy. Any ideas?

Second...
Also looked at swapping dashes from my early one with shagged MID to a laterish one with a good one.
Found the plugs to be different, so put my dash back in, now no MID at all and left hand backlight for dash not working  :-\

3rd...
Cruise, I think I need to bridge the clutch plug (for now, until I get a switch) but cannot for the life of me find the plug! Any ideas?

I should of just left it all alone! Many thanks for any help  :y

First
Might be the pressure switch for the ac system

Thrid
When I built my car to manual there was a cable on the auto ECU connector that needed positive+ to make it work, I just jumped it on the connector till I got a clutch switch.
I just bought a switch of Opel dealers, and got someone to cut the connector with a bit of wiring from a car that was getting scrapped

Ah ok. I gather if I swap that out then I'll lose all the gas?

As for the cruise, I will have another look under the dash. It's only of slight urgency as I'm down in lemans at the mo and fancy cruise for the way home at least! Is there a pin out somewhere else I can bridge for now then? :)

I think the gas must be removed.

Only place I know is the auto ECU connector, but you will need a wiring diagram to confirm witch wire to take, but I for one would not start doing this far from home.  :)
