thekauz Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know or have a test procedure for the sensor that controls the belt saver system on the A/C? My A/c was cutting in and out and I adjusted the sensor's standoff distance and it still cut out. I used a hack I found on this forum that worked great and the A/C blows cold enough to store food. But when you use the hack sometimes the fan control on the dash acts up, makes noise etc, So if anyone knows of a test procedure to test the sensor and has any idea's please let me know. The old beast has a ton of life left in her. (yes I used beast and her in the same sentence)(sorry) Edited June 19, 2017 by thekauz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Tell us what hack you used and we can likely reverse problem solve from there what's causing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekauz Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I have the print out but I am trying to find iy again on this forum. It involvrs going behind the glove box and jumpering two wires that bypass the belt saver system and allow the A/C compressor to run all the time. It seems to be the only fix that works. I still have a 20lb tank of the old refrigerant and the system is charged properly and blows cold. it would just be nice to not have to jumper the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 My 86 came with that jumpered so the compressor was always on. It was ruined when I bought it, at around 75k miles. Removed the mod, put in a new used compressor, never had another problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
