FWIW: My experience has been with bad Klima relays. YMMV. That said, it is possible for the compressor RPM counter to fail in various modes of failure. At 09:40 PM 6/23/2008, you wrote: >The a/c voltage from the compressor RPM sensor is to low. It showed >about .03vac instead of the require

On the flip side of that, since the voltage is out of spec/low, either the sensor is bad OR the compressor is bad. If it's just the sensor, I still would have mangled the wiring harness and would need a new one. The front of the clutch IS rusty ARGH :) On Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:52:56 -0500,

ARGH, in my attempt to "check" the a/c RPM sensor, I have separated the rubber seal/plug housing into about 20 different pieces. ARGH! Anyway, seems I SHOULD have just unplugged it from on top of the compressor. Oh well, I'll just condemn the compressor (and HOPE that it was bad and NOT spinn

While it's off, spray the clutch gap with brake parts cleaner to get any oil off, and check the gap (should be 0.5mm). If the clutch is bad, or the coil is bad and the clutch isn't holding, the compressor will not turn as fast as it should, and the KLIMA will kick it off until the next pow

The clutch (when 5/7 jumped) was turning the same speed as the belt around it. It doesn't make any odd noises when it's jumped/running How do I need to check the compressor? Luther On Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:57:20 -0500, Peter Frederick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You need to find out why t

You need to find out why the compressor is turning so slowly. The only other option is very high resistance wiring or the shaft bearings are so bad they have allowed the shaft to contact the pickup. Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see offi

The a/c voltage from the compressor RPM sensor is to low. It showed about .03vac instead of the required .3vac. Measuring resistance gave me 620ohms, which is within range. So, that leads me to belive that according to 1986.pdf, starting at page 9 (found here: www.gulseth.net/benz/1986.pdf ),
