Any chance that the connector on the compressor is just loose?

I guess there's a CHANCE that it could be anything.... will check that too so long as I gotta crawl under there now....Thanks.

The way to get into the EATC test is: Touch FLOOR and OFF at same time, then touch AUTOMATIC within two seconds, right? If so, it never goes into the test sequence. This should be done with engine off, key =ON, right?

The test sequence as you quoted is correct, however I am not sure if it is key on/engine off. I would try with the engine running.

I tried it every way!!! No way worked!

Got the eatc from Jamie.....installed today..... same problem. Any other ideas?

 

[driller]

You replaced the EATC and still cannot do a self test?

 

[budpytko]

That's correct

Tomorrow I'm gonna check the shim measurement on the clutch...if that's ok, taking to the L/M dealer.....I'm stumped and it looks lke everyone else here is too.....

Ding - Ding - Ding!! You win the prize!

Well, the plug was in, but one of the wires wasn't. Someone, sometime, somewhere removed and reconnected that plug at the top right side of the compressor and when they reconnected it, pushed it on but one of the pins was pushed out enough to last for X thousand miles. I have NO idea who could have done it.... I've never pulled the electrical off the compressor. I got a spare EATC if anyone ever needs one....

Glad you found the problem!

My most sincere thanks! But ya know, I really didn't want to admit to this as I really should have found this sooner!!! Thanks again!

So can you run a self test now? Curious if that was preventing you from doing it before. I wouldn't think so, but just curious....

 

[budpytko]

I was too elated to remember it...I'll try it tomorrow.....We also swapped out my steering column with another.... easier to do that than to replace potentiometer. It would go up/down but not in/out. Does both now....

 

[jamies98lsc]

want to sell the old column to me?
