Exclamation How I resolved my A/C problem

Today I met up with Mr. Gazivoda aka twinturbo93, and figured out why my AC was not working. Previously I charged my AC back up with R134 and it worked like a charm, then on the same day I tried to use the buffer by plugging it into my cigarette lighter. With some odd luck my fuse blew for the lighter so I couldn't buff nor use the lighter. On the way back home I realized my AC was no longer working when it did previously. After back tracking I realized that the reason why the AC did not work was b/c my fuse for the lighter blew. Why does it effect the AC compressor? I have no clue... It was the only thing that changed from my car before the AC didnt work anymore, so after replacing the fuse the compressor starts to work!

It's so weird, after you left I was like let me check what's controled with that fuse, so I oppened the shop manual and here it was. fuse 15 - 15amp: Audio System, Cigarette Lighter, Power Mirrors, Power Antenna, Ignition Light, Security Indicator, Meters..... hey wait a minute, where the hell is the A/C compressor???

I dugg into some more CD's/shop manuals I got and couldn't find a connection between fuse 15 and a/c comp.

Ohh well as long as it works, who cares... right?
Enjoy it budd, now you need it more than ever.
