Comet, I worked on the issue today.. Miswired is a question..I don't recall moving any pin assignments when I troubleshooted and then swapped the climate control unit the first go around. The second time the HVAC system failed it was origionally the same as what ultimately caused it the first time. The fan speed selector switch -Burned up both times. This time I started by ordering the single switch instead of the whole unit.. New, the complete controllers still fetching over $100 so I went the cheaper route.
Unlike the first time around I was able to get all fan speeds, but vent only hits the floor and the recirc. and AC buttons do nothing.
Today I started looking at anything I could access- short of removing the dash. I did play with the pin assignment of 1 (green) wire that seems to have supplied power to the vent select damper/ circuit board and I was able to get outside air and heat through all ventas..BUT when I hit the ac switch or the recirculate switch the air flow defauted back to the floor. I chose not to leave it like this concerned the rewire would do more harm than good if used .
I checked integrity of the relay behind the glovebox adjacent to the blower motor resistor. I also checked the now burnt High blower speed connector(red wire) behind the glove box as well.. It's warm, but holding. In regards to the disabler: Do you have an area where I may look to pull it?
I may ultimately just look into buying a used controller thinking the problem is something blown on the existing circuit board. ...
The problem is driving me crazy because I made no progress, but I did change my drive belt and found that a bad amplifier in my wife's sebring was the reason the OEM radio isn't working ..so not a total loss today..
Happy 4th too all !!
