Subject:      1985 Westy A/C compressor doesn't turn
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi All,

The A/C compressor on my 1985 Westy doesn't turn. The compressor clutch doesn't even attempt to engage.  The blower in the A/C cabinet runs, but that seems to be it. I don't hear any change in the radiator fan when the A/C is turned on. I looked in the Bentley but the A/C section covers 1986 and later.  

Is anyone out there familiar with the 1985 A/C system, or have the electrical and mechanical manual?  

I'm trying to find out where the fuses, relays, etc. are located for the 1985 year. I see the 1986 has some electrics in the D pillar behind the cabinet. Does the 1985 have the same arrangement?  If so, are there any external test points where one could use a volt/ohm meter to test the hidden electrics before dismantling the cabinets to gain access?

Thanks,

Raymond
