Very That is normal as some parts of the wireing is common between different models. The fuses involved with the ACC are: 17 ACC electronics 1 ACC electronics 6 Ventilation fan 18 Heated rear window and mirrors 20 Compressor (and extra cooling fan if mounted) 23 Cooling fan > confusing.

Fuse #4 should have a green (2.5 mm2) cable connecting it to fuse #5 to get +54 (12V while ignition on, but not while starting). For AC (not ACC) cars the other side of the #4 fuse should have a blue (0.5 mm2) cable connecting it with the recirculation switch. The only consumers conencted to the #4 fuse is the recirculation motor and the small lamp in the recirculation switch. What happens if you run the selftest in the ACC? Press AUTO and VENT at the same time to start the selftest. The display starts blinking 88 and after 40 seconds the number of errors are displayed. If not 0, then press VENT repeatedly to display all error codes. Press AUTO to get out of the selftest. The error codes are listed in the workshop manual. :-) Have you checked the wireing between the ACC electronics and the compressor? ACC pin 23 ------- yellow/white (0.5 mm2) ---------- - - - - --+---- pin 2 pressure guard pin 1 ---- green/white (0.5 mm2) --- - - +---- pin 4 pressure guard pin 3 ---- yellow (0.5 mm2) - - ----- freezing thermostat ---- green/white (0.5 mm2) ---- - - fuse 20 -- yellow (2.5 mm2) --- pin 30 timer relay - - ------------------------------- pin 86 timer relay pin 87B ---- - - - - - ---- blue (1.5 mm2) ------- connector -------- compressor Set the ACC to low and then follow the signal and find out where the 12V disappears. The pressure guard is mounted on the accumulator/drier to the right below the windscreen. Between pin 2 and 1 are two safety switches. One opens if the freon temperature is below 0 degrees C (32 degrees F) (pressure of freon is 2 bar) and the other opens when the pressure is over 27 bar. Both switches must be closed for normal operation. The yellow wire controls a cooling fan relay. The freezing thermostat is mounted on the evaporator to the right below the windscreen. It opens when the temperature of the evaporator is below 6 degrees C (43 degrees F). The timer relay is mounted in the fuse box (position E) and it delays the compressor to allow the engine control system to increase the idle before the compressor loads the engine. > day, and the public libraries out here in rural MN don't carry many > foreign repair manuals with wiring diagrams. I appreciate your help. I have a complete workshop manual for the 9000 (all cars until 1990) for sale as I sold the '88 9000T and bought a '99 9-5. There are two problems though, it is located in Sweden and is written in Swedish. :-) -- Goran Larsson hoh AT approve DOT se I was an atheist, http://home DOT swipnet DOT se/hoh/ until I found out I was God.
