| 230 G underdash AC question
Hi all,
my 1980 230 G has an aftermarket BEHR underdash unit. not working too well and i was considering trying to get it fixed to get at least a little cold air in the cabin (although I do not expect too much from the little box.. i am realistic in my expectations).
anyway, the po told me it had been converted to 134 a and it does have a new compressor, etc,.
im am wondering why it is wired such that the main fan for the factory vent system has to be on for the ac unit to kick on.
i can hot wire it so the underdash unit and AC fan works completely independent of the main hvac unit. would this not make more sence?
I have a 65 ford with the underdash unit and is completely seperate from the vent/ heat system, and works well.
It would seem to me that if the vent fan is on the same time the AC fan is on, i am bringing in outside air, and drawing more power from the AC fan (it is wired such that the hot wire to the ac is pigtailed off the 3 way rocker switch for the main unit.) would it not be better to have the AC on its own?
any input? I am not too sharp when it comes to wiring, and HVAC, etc, so any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks! |
