Climate Control Problem

[B0oStEr]

The a/c compressor clutch fuse keeps blowing in my R32.

At the same time this problem started my control unit display has started to black out.

If I turn it off, then back on it lights up again.

Is the display going out because it senses a problem with the clutch circuit?

I've pulled the plug from the compressor clutch to see if the fuse still blows.

If it doesn't blow I think the clutch must be shorting.

If it still blows then the problem must be in the wiring.

Has anyone else had this problem?

The lights issue might be poor connectors on the back of the lcd/control panel. The fuse blowing is most likely burnt out windings, and you are certainly not alone. I'm hoping to get around to fixing mine soon. Jax was kind enough to describe the process here:

It would be a bit of a coincidence for the clutch and the display to go at the same time if the problems are not related because the climate control hasn't had a problem for two years, until now.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the climate control?

Is it easy to replace the windings without having to regas the system?

For those interested -- and for the sake of propagating the guide in a few related threads so its easy to find with the search facility -- here is a guide for removing the windings in-situ on an R32 GT-R (I imagine its much the same across the R32 series and probably for 33s and 34s).

My A/C kept forgetting it's settings, the fuse kept blowing and my clock died altogether - I had a short. Head unit could also do dodgy stuff from a bad connection, esp if it's intermittent. Go to a sparky!
