Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I worked on wiring the a/c condenser fan to come on when I turn on the a/c. my first thought was to wire it to the on switch power wire. would have been simple but not a good idea. I ended up wiring the relay to the compressor so that the fan comes on when the compressor turns on. I have it wired but I wont know if it works until I get the compressor to kick on. fingers crossed on that. I put a vacuum on it for a few minutes to see of it was leaking and it was. of course. I tighten all the fittings and tried again. same thing, decided a little uv leak detector was the best option. I added a tiny bit of Freon to help move the uv dye through the system and was really disappointed when my compressor didn't kick on. I then realized there isn't a belt on it. I will put a belt on it tomorrow and go from there. im close here. one of my old hoses has an old r12 fitting on it. luckily the adapter fitting are affordable. amazon says I will have it Tuesday.
