1992 Hilux Surf Air Con Problem.

July 7, 2006

Hi all,

Does anyone know much about the air con on this model ? The light on the button does not work when pressed, the wire was not connected to the compressor as the clip was broken but thats fixed and in place. I couldnt find a fuse for A/C on the fuse box lists but when I removed the OSF side panel where the main fuse box is there was a 10 Amp fuse in a 4 fuse holder above the ECU popped so ive put a 10 in there hoping that is the air con fuse. Still no light on the button though and maybe that wasnt the fuse I need to find ?. I think its safe to assume when the wire to the compressor popped off it has shorted out ? Any ideas/help welcomed, someone did say there is poss a A/C relay ? or if anyone knows if the fuse i changed was the right one and if not where is it ?

Many thanks in anticipation.

If the system is low on gas it will not work anyway, it has a cutout switch under the dash some where, so you need to get it checked out by a aircon engineer, also the system will be running on R12 gas which is not used any more so they will have to convert it to a newer gas, might cost you a few bob.

Thanks for the help. I will let the aircon boys have a look on Monday and I will post there findings so it could help others.

Hi

just a slightly different angle towards (part?) of your prob - and maybe a little late having seen the posted date - but the aircon light won't illuminate if your fan selector is set to off.

Only noticed this on mine recently :blink:

The air con guys managed to sort it out. Was something to do with some device behind the glovebox ? This has been disconnected and the wires joined together. If anyone knows what they bypassed I would still like to know.

Thanks
