A/C ThermostatRelays
Test
1.Remove the Ay'C thermostat (see page 22-29).
Connect baftery power to the No. 3 terminal, ground
the No. 2 terminal, and connect a test light between
the No. 1 and No. 3 terminals.
NOTEr Use a 12 V,3 W- l8 W test light.
Dip the IVC thermostat into a cup filled with ice water,
and check the test light.
Serp6ntine-type evaporator
The light should go off at 36 - 39'F {2 - 4"C} or less, and
should come on at 39 - 41"F (4 - 5"C) or more
Laminale-type evaporator
The light should go off at 39 - 43'F (4 - 6'C) or less, and
should come on at 43 - 45"F (6 - 7'C) or more
lf the light doesn't come on and go off as specified,
replace the PVC thermostat.
12V,3W-18W
Test
There should be continuity between the No, 1 and No.2
terminals when power and ground are connected to the
No.3 and No. 4 terminals, and there should be no conti-
nuitv when Dower is disconnected.

Tips and Precautions
Bef ore Troubleshooting
. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay
box.
. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
. Check the alternator belt tension.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery
ground cable has been disconneqted, otherwise you
will damage the alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery
ground cable loosely connecled or you will severely
damage the wiling,
Handling Connectois
. Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose
wire terminals.
. Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with
grease (except watertight connectors)
. All connectors have push-down release type locks.
Some connectors have a clip on their side used to
attach them to a mount bracket on the body or on
another component. This clip has a pulltype lock.
Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected
unless you first release the lock and remove the con-
nector from its mount bracket.
