The car air-con gave up on Saturday.\u00a0 I thought it was a fuze problem.\u00a0 Nope fuze is ok.\u00a0 May be its the relay.\u00a0 Checked what I thought was the air-conditioner condenser relay.\u00a0 Looks ok.\u00a0 Turn the engine, the air con is back!\u00a0 Hurray I thought.<\/p>\n
Later in the evening it stopped working for good.\u00a0 The next day, Sunday is a Public Holiday, so is Monday.\u00a0 Have to endure 2 sweltering days driving with the windows down.\u00a0 Reminds me of my childhood days on the old SBS\u00a0 or Tractor Motor buses.<\/p>\n
On Monday night, I managed to noodle the electrical diagram for the heating and cooling.\u00a0 Turns out the blower motor is directly connected to the mains and ground.\u00a0 There are a couple of resistors to adjust fan speed, basically thats it.\u00a0 I know the electrical cabling is good, that means the bad news, the blower fan is dead.\u00a0 More noodling, lots of people say it is a simple repair job.\u00a0 Only problem is that I can’t remove the dash.\u00a0 Sleep on it.<\/p>\n
The next day I have given up and was going to drive to the agent to get it fixed.\u00a0 Wait a minute, agent for a simple blower motor switch is simply not worth it.\u00a0 More noodling and found a shop near the office.<\/p>\n
Thank you Precision Auto Air-Conditioning for being light on the wallet, we now get cool air with our drive.<\/p>\n
