Oh, and when I bridge the two wires on the trinary, ie the furthest apart, the high speed fan comes on, but the compressor clutch does not move, whereas before it clicked in and out. Last edited by suzublu; 19th May 2022 at 11:21.. |

This bridging only energises the clutch. If it fails to do so, it doesn't mean the compressor is mechanically faulty. It means that you either have a poor electrical connection somewhere in the circuit (likely) or, rarely, that the clutch has burnt out (very rare). Simon

Quite right, Ronnie. Driving around with the windows down really helps you experience the countryside, specially during slurry/manure spreading season. Conditioned/filtered air just doesn't provide the same experienceof nature!

OK thanks for the rapid feedback Ron.
There's a single red wire which supplies battery voltage (via the relay) to your compressor clutch. It passes through a single connector which on the KV6 is behind the RH headlamp and accessible through the bulb changing hatch. It may be in the same place on your 1.8. Check that connector for cleanliness. Or, if you fancy a long drive on a summer's day, taking in nature's aromas as celebrated by MSS, bring the car down to me. Simon
