Hi folks,

Sorry, I guessed wrong, I think it is the AC blower control unit that is
kaputt, it is the copper thing with 2 leads that goes into the evaporator.
The compressor always worked, but I didn't get cold air inside the car
until the jumped these leads.

problem is the compressor is on all the time, can't be good for it. I can
manually turn the AC on/off as I need it, but my wife can't seem to
remember what to do and she hates it.

How do I replace this thermostat? will all the freon leak out?????

I searched to archive and SJM page with no luck.

Vielen Dank,
