Subject:      Hooking up A/C compressor properly?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Westies:


The mechanic who removed my A/C compressor is away on leave, and the other
mechanic who's now doing the work needs a coupla simple questions answered.
Can you help, please?


1. The black wire on the top of the Sanden 508 compressor, which I suspect
is the power for the clutch, gets connected to....what? No other electrical
connections there, right?


2. Which engine pulley does the compressor belt get placed on? The middle
pulley, or the "outermost-from-the-engine" pulley?


I think the two pulleys mentioned are the same diameter, and they just serve
to assist by providing flexibility in lining up the straightest path for the
belt, but I don't know for sure. The mechanic won't guess - which I'm happy
about, BTW.


My Westy has an automatic, if that makes a difference.


TIA, and kindest regards,
