Anyone have a 95 a/c dash controller with rear defrost laying around?

[dkknaebel]

Got the FrankenBetty all back together and of course, it's a ONE YEAR ONLY BS thing for the a/c dash controller and the a/c doesn't work again. System is completely brand new. Never cracked open after we installed it. We can jump the low pressure switch and get the compressor to kick on. It ran a month ago but I think we put the controller back in, the tabs are just crumbling on the back and won't hold any connectors on. I think I'll roll her in the street and get the el sparko ready to roll LOL

Is this it?

I think, after doing some searching, the "G" and "H" RPO codes tell what gear ratio you have. What are they?

 

[dkknaebel]

Wrong one. I need 1572267, it is a one year only. There is a harness that you can get that converts 96+ to make it work and comes with that part number. The RPO codes say G80 but when my rear brakes were redone, they were the bigger ones, the 11 inch not 10 inch so I'm assuming at some point, they put a junkyard rearend in my truck. I am not cracking open that thing until I absolutely have to. The brakes that worked are for RPO G90

So, this one then. Shows out of stock at this point at RA. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=85725&jsn=2042 I also do not see a rear defrost control on the one you say you need.

Cross referenced and found this at RA https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3778905&jsn=2042

Maybe this one: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-15-7...hild=1&keywords=1572267&qid=1587664797&sr=8-2

Thanks for the help @PNW VietVet. I have the harness to run a 96+. It's in my stockpile. Forgot I had it. But it's not exactly the controller that would be my problem. I think this might have something to do with it. And I even bought AC DELCO. Oh and when I went to warranty exchange it through RA, the last question asked if my part matched the yellow highlighted description. Well it's out of stock so there was no yellow. I clicked no and It shut me out and said not eligible. Can't call about it. Sent an email so here's hoping. Anyone got a recommendation on a/m compressors???

F it, I'm drinking.

Yep!!

Well RA was of no help really. If you are buying parts there, aren't you generally working on your own vehicle? They won't warranty my ac delco compressor unless I provide an invoice for a professional doing the flush and evacuate. We replaced the whole system. What a bunch of crap! Oh well, what's another $200 down the drain? just a drop in the bucket where the JYH (Junkyard Hoe) is concerned LOL Gotta laugh, right?

 

[OR VietVet]

In these times, laughing at ANYTHING helps. Especially working on a 25 year old Tahoe. I would be right there with ya if I can find a 1996 2 door white Tahoe, like I had when I moved here 25 years ago.

Dawn - If you need the controller, could you post a photo of what it looks like? I could probably find you one. There are several 95s at my local salvage yard.

Too bad you don't know a garage who could help you out with a receipt.

I do but I can't ask them to do that. I think the unit was bad to begin with. It made a shit ton of noise

I appreciate that. When I open her back up tomorrow, I'll take pics

I think even more reason to ask--got screwed from the get go. Just my opinion tho.

This is what the front looks like.

 

[OR VietVet]

That looks just like the one I showed you in a link from RA. What am I missing?

I need to be sure I have the adapter harness. The fronts are the same but the 95 was a one year only that had different connectors

 

[NoReverseYukon]

$175 + $40 core !!!!

I am sure I can get one ( or several ) from the salvage yard for probably less than $20 each.

Dawn, just so I understand; is the rear of the '95 unit different than other years, or is it just the wiring harness that is different?

Also, to be sure I bring the right tools to remove this, what tools are required?

You need to pull the surround from the dash. Should be just clips that pop lose. The biggest thing with these are the clips/tabs on the side that turn brittle and just break off. Mine is held in with self tapping screws. It is a horrible design. I'm sure I have the harness but anything that is plugged into the back is useful. Some 95s may have this weird attachment that hangs off the back, looks like a plug in circuit board. I doubt I need that.

I'm thinking that LMC has that part too. Mine's a '95 and I think I saw it when catalog browsing.
