Long story short, the owner before me SCREWED UP the whole car, and i could not get any power to the compressor or condensor fan so i'm currently running a toggle switch turning on and off my AC, and it's going straight to the battery, which i know is not safe.

instead, i want to wire it to my ignition so when my car is off, even if i forget to flip my toggle switch, the condensor fan will be off and what not. so can anybody direct me in the right direction for doing this? where can i find this wire in the steering column?

 

Why not just fix the problem and make the system work as intended? This may not be any more work to do.

 

believe me i tried... i ended up just quitting and finding a simple way to get AC

 

Can you summarize your troubleshooting results? Neither the fan nor clutch would work, right?

 

you need a wiring diagram of the entire ac system then i believe you'll be able to wire it up correctly

 

New wireharness = problem fixed, Not really hard to do, just time, but ALOT easier than tracing wires and blah blah

 

The OP can find this^ in the FAQs sticky.

 

the fan and clutch work perfectly, but when i plug them up to the wire harness it doesn't get any power. so what i did was basically wire it straight to the battery.

i have a push start button in my EG, so i could theoretically splice into that right?
i had a new wire harness straight from majestic honda, but i wasn't getting any continuity.

 

Do you have a multimeter to do some basic electrical tests? I can walk you through them. What car do you have?

 

yeah we already used a multimeter to look for continuity when the wire harness was plugged up. but we had no luck

 

Continuity tests are just part of the troubleshooting. You also need to test for voltage and do some other electrical tests. I could probably help you, but you have to want help. I avoid helping members do jury-rig repairs. Obviously, it's up to you.

 

old thread but id love some help. replaced compressor and the 1st reman compressor didn't work and screwed up my wiring. no power to the condensor or compressor. system is charged and works fine when you jump the compressor/condensor. dont want to rig it. checked fuses, tried different relays, tried jmping low pressure switch. no luck yet. can anybody help me

 

First off, tell us what car you have.

But it sounds like a blown fuse(s). Do you have a multimeter?
