Rectifier Removal (cont'd)
Separate the rear housing from the stator/rectifier
assembly by removing the four screws and the ter-minal nut.
TERMINAL NUT
Unsolder the rectifier from the stator leads,. To avoid damaging the diodes with heat, pinch
the stator leads between pliers to carry heat off,and apply the soldering iron only long enough toseparate the leads from the rectifier.. Use a 100 W soldering iron.
STATOR SOLDERING
7. Install the new rectifier in the reverse order of removal.. Apply the soldering iron only long enough toensure a good connection so the heat will notdamage the diodes.
a Use only a rosin core type solder or solder joints
will corrode.

Rectifier Test
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc-tion. Since the alternator rectifier is made up of ninediodes, each diode must be tested for continuity in bothdirections with an ohmmeter that has diode checkinocapability; a total of 18 checks.
1. Check for continuity in each direction between- the B and P terminals.- the B'and P terminals.- E {ground) and the P terminals.
All diodes should have continuity in only one direc-UOn.
lf any of the diodes fails, replace the rectifier assem-bly, (Diodes are not available separately.)

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture
of how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.
From Battery to lgnition Switch, Fuses, and Relays
Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however,
shows the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.

These switches move
together; the broken straight

Other types of switches are
controlled by a coil or a solid
state circuit. Unless otherwise
noted. all switches are shown
in their normal (rest) position,
with power off.
This ground symbol (dot

- How the Circuit Works
Battery voltage is supplied through tuse 56 to the
A,/C compressor clutch r€lay contacts at all times.
With the ignition switch in ON (ll), vollage is applied
to the coil of the A,/C compressor clutch relay
through fuse 17. When you push the A,/C switch
ON, and the heater fan switch is in position | , 2, 3,
or 4, a "ground" input is provided to the engine
control module (ECM) or powertrain control module
(PCM) through the l'lC thermostat and the l'lC
pressure switch.
The A,/C compressor clutch relay is grounded by the
engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control
module (PCM). When energized, the A'lC
compressor clutch relay allows battery voltage to
turn on the A,/C comDressor clutch.
The A,/C ON indicator light comes on when the A,/C
system is requested.
A,/C Thermostat
The A'lC thermostat is located on the evaoorator
housing. The A,/C thermostat turns off the A,/C
compressor clutch if the temperature at the
evaporator goes below 3'C (37'F). This prevents
condensation from freezing on the evaporator fins
and blocking the air delivery into the passenger
compartment. The blower motor will keep running
when the sensor turns off the comDressor.
A,/C Pressure Switch
The fuC oressure switch is located in the condenser
outlet line where refrigerant is in a high
temperature/high pressure liquid state. The switch
will sense abnormally high or low pressure, and
open the circuit. This removes ground, and the
compressor will stop running.
Thermal Protectot
The thermal protector, located on the A,/C
compressor, opens and turns the compressor off if it
senses high temperature. Once the compressor
cools, the switch will close and the compressor will
begin running again.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 22,
Air Conditioning) for specific tests or
troubleshooting procedures.
