Guys, This is getting annoying/frustrating; after disassembling every electrical plug/connection and ground I could find under the hood of my '85 300TD and cleaning and lubricating with conductive grease, my tach now seems to be working OK but my AC compressor won't come on. As per a suggestio

Prior to my '85 300TD engine going south, I noticed that my tachometer (goes to 0 rpm) and AC compressor would shut off after some random period of time. When starting the car from cold, both the tach and AC work OK. I recently had a rebuilt motor installed and this tach & AC problem hasn't c
