Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Oh darn. For that price and specs I would have brought cash in hand right then and there. Okay. I'll keep my options open and look for a turbo manual. If I find a deal like that I'll jump at it and worry about the swap options. If any. Later on. If anyone comes across a 98 s70 T5 manual in the Carol...

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Thank you Lee, You and the Forum were instrumental in assisting me throughout. So again, Thank you! As the the practicality, It sounds like its more Ideal to just fully swap all mechanical components from a T5 to mine rather than rebuilding the current engine into a T5, Would you agree there? Like, ...

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Thank you for the advice. At this point I've been able to resolve all of my issues except the seat heaters one. But it being spring and about to be summer in the Carolina's. A heated seat isn't much of a priority. Okay so essentially I've done a stage-0 tune up and the difference is insane. I haven'...

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Perhaps just a new higher amp alternater and a MAF sensor cleaning?

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Okay, I'll see if I can get one from pull-a-part this weekend and test it out. If I may encroach on your knowledge a bit more. The car has had a couple other little things i had wanted to ask about. The first being the alternator. I've noticed as the car is running for long periods of time it starts...

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Also, aside from when the engine Temp sensor made the high-speed fan turn on in the video, the fan doesn't turn on on it's own with just the A/C compressor engaged.

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Okay, I used a light tester grounded on the negative terminal of the battery to each terminal and the fan came on at both low and high speed respectively, so it sounds like the high pressure sensor is not telling the fan to turn on, which would in turn drop the pressure showing the true range that t...

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Also, should there be continuity between the pins on the LP switch connector? When I put my multimeter on it on Ohm, I didn't get a reading between the pins,(With or without the relay jumped) but I did get an open reading of 0.00 on the physical switch connected to the line going into the firewall.

Re: 1998 S70 A/C Compressor won't kick in on its own

Thank you for your quick response, Ill try to answer all of your questions. You cant see it very well in the video but the compressor is on 100% of the time, but that was due to the relay being jumped. It was jumped for almost all of my testing that I had done before. When I shot the video, the car ...
