I went to the parts store and on-line to look for a ac compressor relay. Once I had that part I visually matched them to 4 relays above the fuse block in the car under the steering column. I'm not sure which of the 4 are the ac compressor relay, but at least I got it down to 1 of 4. I think I've located the low pressure switch on the drier. The darn thing has 4 wires on it,... which 2 do I jump to check the compressor for operation?

I'm troubleshooting AC system. Press AC switch, compressor turns on for 1-2 sec, then shuts down. Electric engine cooling fan DOES NOT turn on. I thought this fan should come on when AC comes on. I'd like to jump the two wires for the AC low pressure switch and check the compressor. Two questions: 1. Where is connector to low pressrue switch 2. Is there a relay which may have gone bad (causing the fan not to come on and therefore the compressor to remain running)? 1987 4 x 4, Turbo, GL 1.8 MPFI

To clarrify: How much lateral play, left/right, (not along the length of the axle) can there be? I go under the car with the wheels on the ground and grabbing the inner joint (DOJ) I can move it , not in and out, but to the sides. It kinda wobbles a bit. I'm wondering if this is causing the thumping noise, mainly at higher speeds with a load (acceleration) on the transmission/drive axle.

Does anyone have an idea how much front axle shaft play there can be? Mine have some play, 120k on them and I'm picking up some nasty noises. Mainly at higher speeds, higher loads only- thumping noise from transmission area. 5 Spd Tranny seems to work fine- no slippage, oil ok, etc. Once I place stick in nuetral, alll noise goes away. I know I have a loose left front wheel bearing, but I'm trying to get a handle on the axel play, both directions.
