G'day people,

I'm having trouble with my aircon. When a/c is turned on via climate control amp, the compressor doesn't turn on. The only way a/c can be turned on is if terminals 5 and 3 from the a/c relay is bridged out. I'm not good with my electrics but i have the following info that may help fing what the problem is.

with ignition left off: 0Volts in all terminals 1,2,3,5

terminals 1,2,3 are 0 ohms. 5th terminal has around 12.5 ohms varying

with ignition turned to ON: 0 volts in terminals 1 and 3, 11.5 volts in terminal 2, 11.4 in terminal 5

terminals 1,2,5 are o ohms. terminal 3 has .88 ohms.

i hope this helps. Cheers :sorcerer:

Yeah, the air comes out cold. I've checked all fuses. I've also checked the diagnostic system for the a/c amp but it only came up with the sun sensor, only because i did it in the shade. I think it may be a problem with the a/c amp or somewhere in the wiring harness, but too much wiring confuses the hell outta me. I've checked the wiring diagram for the a/c in the repair manual under HA-3. If anyone has that diagram and could roughly point out where there may be a bad connection, they are bloody legendary.

Id say its low on gas. Low enough to not engage the clutch on the compressor but still just enough to get the air cool.

So get the system leak tested, repaired, and regassed.

Id be doing the same.

Get it checked out properly. With a set of guages on the system the problem can be isolated in seconds.

If its the wiring issue then obviously you will be looking at the relay switching circuit which is not overly complicated.

Having a similar problem with mine can bridge the relay and compressor kicks in cold an lovely ran for an hour or so like this then poped the fuse. Checked out the compressor coil pin 5 on the relay in the manual drawing mentioned earlier measures 3.5 Ohms as per the manual (the 12.5 ohms ed is seeing would suggest the coil clutch to me). Looking at said drawing the only thing that can stop the signal from the ECCS control unit is the dual pressure switch. Was wondering if anyone knows if the dual pressure switch will stop the compressor switching on if pressure is to high or only if its to low. R134 gas has much higher head pressure than r12 (the original gas) and if its still the original switch this may be the problem or part of it.

My mate tested the pressure switch and he said it was fine. I think it may be a problem with the a/c amplifier. My mechanic friend was crossing over wires from the fan relay to the a/c relay. I dont know why he did that but must have fried it. The a/c used to work before he did this. He was trying to find out why my thermo fan wouldn't turn on.

So you have checked you don't have a dud sensor?

Throw it in to diag mode and have a look at the temperature values from the 4 sensors or what ever it is.

I had a dud cabin air inlet temp sensor, constantly reading -30degree's.. Obviously it would refuse to engage the aircon's compressor as it was too damn cold. lol

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
