swiggins Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi all, just finished replacing the starter in my 91 LS-400, 156,000 miles; while I was driving around I tried the A/C. It never began to cool, so back in the driveway I can tell that the magnetic clutch is not pulling in. My question is did I fail to reconnect the compressor when I put every thing back togeather? It's hard to tell with everything buttoned up if there is a connector under the intake that leads to the compressor. I would be greatful for any thoughts before I start to take the intake back off. Thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiggins Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 I found that the wiring for the compressor doesn’t run under the intake. I did find a burned out fuse on the A/C. I had given the fuse a visual inspection and thought it was OK. My multimeter proved otherwise. I found the starter replacement to be time consuming and tedious. On this 16 year old car all the plastic is very brittle and easy to break. I think I could it much faster the second time. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While replacing the starter, some sort of bi-metal valve was broken off, along with a couple of other items. They were eventually replaced or glued back together (with a combination of crazy glue and silicon gasket :D ), but the A/C still isn't cooling. A mechanic checked the condenser fans and noted that there was no power being delivered to them. I enjoy my A/C very much in the humid heat of the Deep South and I need a solution to this problem pronto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
