Coolng problems not associated with an insufficient charge are usually the
result of a failed amplifier because the amplifier was so poorly designed that
it is the most common component to fail. A new amplifier is expensive,
but you can obtain a guaranteed used one from
everydayxj.com. Your troubleshooting
should first verify that the heater valve works correctly, then that there is
sufficient vacuum for it, and finally that, with the compressor engaged,
the flaps respond to the temperature setting. When you switch from
defrost to full cool, the flaps MUST open the vents in the dash and close the
defroster vents. While there are reasons other than a failed amplifier
for the flaps to misbehave, the amplifier is almost always responsible for the
flaps to move to their cooling positions when cooling is called for.
Remember that the A/C cannot overcome the heat introduced from the heater
valve, so it must close off the hot water to the unit.
The air conditioning heating system fitted to Mark II models is a climatic control type using two manual controls. One selects the desired temperature; the other selects mode of operation.
The system can automatically maintain any temperature selected at the temperature selector (65°F - 85°F) by comparing the car's interior temperature with that selected at the manual selector. The difference in temperature at these two points produces an electronic signal which, through an amplifier to a motor driven camshaft, operates various relays, microswitches, vacuum switches, linkage and flaps programing the unit to automatically cause hot or cold air to flow to the car's interior, depending upon the temperature selector setting. The camshaft servo motor can be driven in either direction. The air temperature entering the interior may be hot or cold or an infinitely variable mixture of the two. The air is introduced into the interior by two four-speed fans and fed through a series of blending flaps which direct it to the evaporator and/or heater cores and then into the car interior. If quick or slow air distribution of heating or cooling is desired, the automatic fan speed functions can be overridden to provide high or low fan speed.
The low speed fan operates in Auto and LO positions automatically; however, if high or low speed fan is selected, all other functions still remain automatic.
Air into the car's interior is available at both front and rear footwells - center dash face level outlets - end of dash face level outlets and screen outlets, depending upon mode of operation selected. The dash panel outlets are controllable for quantity and direction of air distribution.
S1002 Page 1 of 88Defrost may also be selected in which case the automatic sensing system is overridden and all air is emitted at high fan speed at the screen outlets with a small bleed to the footwells. Manual operation of the end of dash panel outlets for side window demisting is optional.
ADVANTAGESAs temperature output is controlled by mixing air of differing temperatures rather than controlling the flow of Freon through the evaporator, some difference in temperature is possible between upper and lower outlets, depending upon the position of the flaps. This air blending gives a more rapid response to manual control changes and finer selected temperature control. All air, whether heating or cooling is selected, is passed through the evaporator and dehumidified.
MAXIMUM AIR FLOWThe air flow from the unit is 230 cu.ft./min. on heating, 300 cu.ft./min. on cooling. By comparison, the Jaguar Mark I air flow was 200 cu.ft.fmin for both cooling and heating.
COOLING AND HEATING CAPACITYCooling capacity of the Mark II is 27300 BthUs/hour, heating 13500 BthUs/hour; whereas the Mark I was 17900 BthUs/hour cooling, 11700 BthUs/hour heating.

A thermistor is a device whose resistance depends on its temperature. The lower the temperature, the higher the resistance - The higher its temperature, the lower its resistance, i.e. In-car sensor, ambient sensor.
POTENTIOMETERA potentiometer is a device whose resistance varies when one of its two elements is rotated either way, manually or mechanically, i.e. Temperature selector, feedback potentiometer.
RANCO THERMOSTATIs an electrical switch which passes current at all times except when its sensing probe, attached to the evaporator, drops to 2°C (36°F). When this occurs, the Ranco Thermostat becomes non-conductive and the circuit to the compressor clutch is disengaged closing down the refrigeration system to prevent evaporator freeze-up.
DIODEIs an electrical device which will allow current flow in one direction only.

The A/C amplifier is, as simply put as I can manage, a differential amplifier. This case a specialized version called a `servo amplifier'. I will explain, hopefully clearly enough, as follows.
There are two inputs, when one is more `positive' than the other, the amplifier is in a, lets say, positive state. When that same input is more `negative' than the other, the amplifier is in a, lets say, negative state. If they are roughly equal, then the amplifier is in a `zero' state. Roughly equal is a result of some hysteresis circuitry permitting such a `dead' zone, otherwise the servo would burn itself out tracking the temperature.
If the amplifier is in the `positive' state, then relays (magnetically operated switches) inside the A/C amplifier are set in a condition to permit the servo motor to go in one direction, and if in the `negative' state, then the relays are set in a condition to permit the servo motor to go in an opposite direction. In the `zero' state, the servo is quiescent (off).
One of the inputs is the temperature of the cabin offset by the temperature of the selector knob, the other is a feedback signal indicating the position of the servo system. The above explanation would, once all circuits working correctly, would ensure that the servo system moves along with temperature difference, moving to extremes as the difference is more extreme. ie: if the temperature of the cabin is lower than the setting, then heat is applied, if the temperature of the cabin is higher than the setting, then cooling is applied. More extreme, the higher the fan setting, or the more aggressive the venting as determined by the servo unit's cams and rods. We need not go into the mechanical complexity of the servo unit (please).
Now, if one has two independent meters they can set up to the task of testing the A/C amplifier, one can observe the amplifier's behavior cycled through the range by simply twisting the temperature control knob. A properly functioning system, one can hear the servo move through it's range to confirm this. The meters would allow us to confirm that the amplifier is behaving or not, even despite other component failures (to obvious limits regarding temperature sensor, temperature knob or servo feedback position sensors, but I digress).
On to the testing. The `inputs' of the amplifier reside on pins 5 and 7 of the round connector that is accessible on the left hand side kickpanel on the console. The `output's to the servo motor are on pins 1 and 2 of that same connector. Regardless of polarity at this instant, connect a `sensitive' voltage meter to the input pins, in the range of millivolts to volts region, by carefully sliding a 22 gauge solid wire as a binding post for the meter (About the size of a resistor lead) into the back side of the connector at pins 5 (Green) and 7 (Blue). Be *really* sure you do not cross short out the connections, depending on your dexterity and vision it may be wise to ensure the lead is fundamentally insulated except where you need to make contact with the pins or the meter leads or clips. Take the less sensitive voltage meter (one will see a 12 volt swing here) similarly to pins 1 (purple) and 2 (red). Even more important to take the precaution of not shorting these pins together, you *will* burn our a fuse, or worst the A/C amplifier relays. To ensure your `bearing's are correct with regards to the sequential pins on the round connector, the colours from pin 1 through 9 are purple, red, brown, white, green, no connection, blue, yellow and orange respectively.
Given the above described behavior, slide through the temperature range on the control knob (hoping to gohd that your ambient temperature is within the range of 60 to 80 oF :-), one should be able to observe the `positive', `zero' and `negative' states of the amplifier, matching the relative input signals. Do not concern yourself at this phase about positive or negative, except to ensure that if you see a positive input to the amplifier, that the output remains in one state, and a negative input that the output is in an opposite state. Finding the `zero' dead-zone will also be helpful in confirmation.
A Faulty amplifier can also behave intermittently, I had a permanent setup for a week monitoring these signals while driving under varied conditions until I found the proof I needed to indicate that the amplifier was the misbehaving component in the system. After this I went through almost a year of denial after that by placing a center off DPDT switch that replaced the functions of pins 1 and 2 with my own desired actions positioning the servo as I saw fit ...
I might add, that the amplifier is the most likely faulty component in the system if the reports on this mailing list are correct.
Sincerely -- Mark Salyzyn

| Function: | Automatic temperature control is achieved by comparing the in-car temperature at the sensor with that set at the |
| manual temperature selector. Any difference in these two settings causes an IMBALANCE voltage situation in the amplifier which in turn signals the servo control motor through a relay to rotate the camshaft to either the heating or cooling mode. | |
| When the camshaft rotates, a feedback potentiometer also rotates and as the system starts to heat or cool the interior, the feedback potentiometer commences to return the camshaft back to the balance position. Any sudden change in ambient temperature is sensed by the ambient sensor and through the in-car sensor can modify the camshaft position calling for more heating or cooling before the in-car sensor could reflect the ambient change itself. |

| Testing: | Select 85 at the temperature selector switch. This will cause the relay in the amplifier unit to switch purple lead of the |
| motor circuit to 12 volts. Red lead should reflect 0 volts. | |
| After a few minutes, select 65 at temperature selector switch. This will cause the other amplifier relay to reflect 12 volts at the red lead and 0 volts at the purple lead. | |
| If camshaft does not rotate in either test, check wiring continuity. | |
| FULL HEATING and FULL COOLING limit switches for continuity. | |
| S1002 Page 43 of 88 | If correct, check Diodes (Dl, D2 and D3) for continuity in forward and reverse bias modes. |
| If Correct: |
| 1. Check that there are 12 volts at the brown lead and ground potential at the black lead. | |

| 4. Replace amplifier. |
| 1. Set the temperature selector at 75 and run vehicle at 1500 rpm. | ||
| 2. Ensure engine temperature is normal and ambient temperature is fairly stable. | ||
| 3. Measure the air temperature in the region of the in-car sensor using a Mercury thermometer. | ||
| 4. When the temperature on the Mercury thermometer has stabilized and the camshaft ceases to move, note the | ||
| difference in temperature between the 75 selected at the temperature selector and that registered by the Mercury thermometer. | ||
| 5. Every 5°F between the two items equals 45° angular rotation of the temperature control. | ||
| 6. If the temperature is higher at the Mercury thermometer than that selected at the temperature selector, rotate the | ||
| amplifier potentiometer adjusting screw anti-clock-wise by the same angular amount as that estimated at the temperature selector. | ||
| 7. Similarly, if temperature is lower at the Mercury thermometer, adjust in a clockwise direction. | ||
FULL COOLING
When full cooling is selected, the temperature selector is placed at 65. This introduces a resistance into the circuit which lowers the current and increases the voltage. Sensing the higher voltage, the amplifier allows the current flow through TR1, TR5 and TR3 which energizes relay RSL1 which in turn allows current flow through the red lead and return to ground through the purple lead, rotating the motor and hence the camshaft into the cooling mode. Under high ambient conditions, the Ranco thermostat is also overridden by the Ranco override switch.
When the selected temperature is reached, the in-car sensor's resistance changes cancelling the IMBALANCE and allows the feedback potentiometer to return the camshaft to the balance position. Camshaft travel is limited by the full cooling limit switch - Depends on Ambient influence.
S1002 Page 46 of 88FULL HEATING
When full heating is selected, the temperature selector is placed at 85. This introduces a resistance into the circuit which raises the current and reduces the voltage. Sensing the lower voltage, the amplifier allows current flow through TR1, TR6 and TR4 which energizes RSL2 which in turn allows current flow through the purple lead and return to ground through the red lead, rotating the motor and hence the camshaft into the heating mode. When the selected temperature is reached, the in-car sensor's resistance changes cancelling the IMBALANCE and allows the feedback potentiometer to return the camshaft to the central position. In full heating, fan speeds are limited to LOW and MED 1 (2nd speed) - Depends on Ambient influence.

S1002 Page 48 of 88DEFROST MODE MAXlMUM
When defrost is selected, the temperature selector is placed at 85. This introduces a 27K resistance into the circuit which raises the current and reduces the voltage bypassing the amplifier bias circuit and causes the camshaft to rotate to the full heating mode. The fans will operate at the highest speed.
S1002 Page 50 of 88FULL HEATING MODE - AUTO
There is no vacuum feed to center dash flap, therefore, it is closed - heater flaps are fully opened - cooler flaps closed by camshaft. System will not operate until engine water temperature reaches 40°C (103°F). Fans will automatically be on LO speed (1st) and switch to MED 1 (2nd) speed by camshaft. Only the two lowest fan speeds are available in the heating mode.
Camshaft turns until stopped by full heat limit switch.
Camshaft movement depends on ambient and desired temperature set at temperature selector. Therefore, depending on conditions, flap positions will vary to meet in-car temperature requirements. All air is passed through evaporator to be dehumidified.
HIGH & LO FAN SELECTION
Except for maintaining the given fan speed selected, the system's operation still remains automatic.
S1002 Page 52 of 88

FULL COOLING MODE - AUTO
Approximately 75% of the air after passing through the evaporator is fed to the dash outlets, the remaining 25% to the footwells.
Vacuum solenoid is de-energized placing inlet flaps in fresh air mode. Ranco thermostat is conductive and refrigeration cycle operates. Fans are initially on LO speed (always in this mode when Auto is selected).
As camshaft revolves, it trips MED 1 (2nd speed) fan switch then MED 2 (3rd speed).
Center dash flap opens when cam operates outer vacuum switch. Upper and lower heater flaps are closed preventing air passing over heater core. Cooling flaps are open - All flaps being operated by camshaft through external linkage.
Water temperature bypass switch activated by camshaft - Water valve closed to prevent water circulation through heater core - Cam closes vacuum feed from inner vacuum switch. Ranco thermostat overridden by Ranco override switch.
High speed (4th)/Recirculation switch activated by camshaft - Positive voltage via Diode #D3 energizes vacuum solenoid and allows vacuum feed to inlet flaps placing them in recirculation mode.
Camshaft trips full cooling limit switch inhibiting further camshaft travel.
As selected temperature is reached, the feedback potentiometer, via the amplifier, signals the camshaft to reverse this sequence until camshaft revolves back to central position.
S1002 Page 55 of 88HIGH & LO FAN SELECTION
In cooling mode, HIGH or LO may be selected either to maintain a high or low air velocity into the vehicle interior; however, all other functions remain automatic.
S1002 Page 56 of 88

INTERMEDIATE SETTINGS
Depending on ambient temperature and temperature at the in-car sensor as compared to that selected at the temperature selector control, an infinite number of settings between full heating and full cooling are possible. Therefore, flaps, vacuum and electronic control signals are governed by the camshaft position necessary to maintain the selected temperature.

S1002 Page 59 of 88{IMAGE}
DEFROST
Selecting defrost at the manual control introduces a high value resistance (27K) which completely overrides the amplifier bias circuits.
The camshaft moves to the full heat position closing the upper and lower cooling flaps and opening the heater flaps. However, the lower heating flap which normally is held open by a vacuum actuator, does not have a vacuum feed, therefore, is held closed by the return spring. All heated air is directed to the screen outlets. Manual operation of the dash end outlets is optional for side window defogging.
The vacuum switch on the manual control is closed preventing vacuum to the lower heating flap and screen outlet flaps (which allow screen flaps to open 90% of air flow). There is a small bleed (10%) of hot air to the footwells. The fans are naturally on HIGH speed (4th) and will come on immediately.
The heating system will not function until the engine water temperature reaches 40°C (103°F).

| 1. | Remove main tension spring (leave lower cooling flap spring in situ.). |
| 2. | Check that all flaps are free to move. |
| 3. | Rotate camshaft into full cooling mode (clockwise - viewed from potentiometer end) by turning temperature selector to |
| 65 with mode control at Auto. | |
| 4. | Check that LOWER HEATING flap is closed by applying slight hand pressure - there should be no movement. |
| 5. | Check that UPPER HEATING flap is fully closed by rotating flap in a clockwise direction - adjust screw and locknut if |
| necessary. | |
| 6. | Check that both LOWER and UPPER HEATING flaps close fully by operating actuating rod. |
| NOTE: Peg on linkage operates on cam on the LOWER HEATING flap to override the lower heating flap vacuum actuator on the left side of the evaporator case. Peg closes lower heating flap in full cooling mode. | |
| 7. | Place system into FULL HEATING mode by rotating camshaft anti-clockwise (viewed from potentiometer end). |
| 8. | Check that UPPER HEATING flap is fully OPEN (just touches casing). |
| 9. | Hold LOWER COOLING flap CLOSED and adjust actuating rods by set-screw on linkage. |
| 10. | Check that flaps close at opposite end of travel by operating rod. |
| 11. | Refit main tensioning spring. |
| 12. | Check that bottom cooler flap seats correctly. |

S1002 Page 64 of 88
| 1. | Select FULL COOLING mode - loosen clamping setscrew - hold flap fully clockwise against heater box - retighten |
| clamping setscrew. Check for free movement of flap. | |
| 2. | Select FULL HEATING mode and check that flap opens fully (against casing). |
The lower heating flap functions in all positions except defrost. The position of the lower heating flap is modified by the overriding action of the cam and peg on the upper heating/lower cooling flap operating linkage on the right side of the evaporator case. This linkage gives the correct air blend for all conditions.
In defrost there is no vacuum supply to the lower heating flap vacuum actuator. Therefore, no air flows to the front or rear footwells. In defrost mode, all air goes to screen outlets except for a slight bleed to the footwells or optional setting of the dash end outlets.

| 1. | With engine cold, turn TEMPERATURE SELECTOR to 85 and MODE CONTROL to AUTO. |
| 2. | Start engine - run at 1,000 rpm. Camshaft motor should be heard. |
| 3. | The fans should not operate until engine temperature reaches 40°C (l03°F). |
| 4. | At 40°C (103°F) the fans should come on at MED 1 (2nd) speed. Check for correct speed by selecting LO at MODE |
| CONTROL. Fans should drop to low (1st) speed. Place control back to AUTO. Compressor clutch should be energized. | |
| 5. | Air from the outlets will gradually increase in temperature as the engine temperature increases. |
| 6. | With engine warm, turn TEMPERATURE SELECTOR to 65. The unit should go through the following sequence in |
| about 20 seconds: | |
| (7) | Blower speed will drop to low. |
| (8) | Incoming temperature will decrease, the upper temperature dropping more quickly than footwell temperature. |
| (9) | After about 10 seconds, the center outlet flap will open. |
| (10) | About 1 second later, the fan speed will shift to MED 1 (2nd speed). |
| (11) | Another second later, the fan speed will shift to MED 2 (3rd speed). |
| (12) | Another second later, the fan speed will shift to maximum (4th speed). At the same time, the fresh air vents will close |
| and the recirculation flaps will open. A rush of air will be felt along the bottom edge of the lower trim panels. |
| (13) | Turn MODE CONTROL to LO which should cause the fan speed to drop. Return MODE CONTROL to AUTO. |
| NOTE: On some cars the change of the fan speeds may be hard to detect. | |
| (14) | Remove cigar lighter from vicinity of in-car sensor. |
| (15) | Within ten minutes, depending upon ambient conditions, the unit should shift off recirculation and the blowers will drop to |
| one of the intermediate speeds. (This test should be carried out on the road to get faster thermistor response.) | |
| (16) | Turn MODE CONTROL to DEFROST. The center dash flap should close and the screen outlets open. Air to the |
| footwells should cut off leaving air supply to the upper outlets only. | |
| (17) | Fans should shift to maximum (4th) speed and hot air should flow from the upper outlets. |
| NOTE: Fan vibration should be assessed at this point. | |
| (18) | Check that air can be cut off at dash face level outer outlets. |
| (19) | Set MODE CONTROL to AUTO. Set temperature selector to 75 and wait for unit to settle. |
| (20) | The fans should now be on low speed - depending on Ambient temperature |
| (21) | Turn MODE CONTROL to HIGH - Maximum (4th) speed should now engage. |
| 1. | Set the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR to 85. |
| 2. | MODE CONTROL to DEFROST. |
| 3. | Close END OF DASH outlets. |
| 4. | Start engine and run at 1500 rpm for 7 minutes. |
| 5. | During the running period, measure air flow from screen outlets. The velocity should be 1550 f.p.m. |
| 6. | Also during running period turn MODE CONTROL to HIGH and open END DASH outlets. Using screen outlets and |
| end of dash outlets, measure air velocity. | |
| 7. | Should be 500 f.p.m. screen - 850 f.p.m. end of dash outlets minimum. |
| 8. | At the end of 7 minutes running period and the engine water temperature gauge is at normal, the following minimum screen |
| outlet temperature should be obtained: |
| PLENUM INLET °C | SCREEN OUTLET °C | |
| 10 | 54 | |
| 12 | 55 | |
| 14 | 55.5 | |
| 16 | 56.5 | |
| 18 | 57 | |
| 20 | 58 | |
| 22 | 58.5 | |
| 24 | 59.5 |
| 9. | If the above minimum requirements are met, it can be assumed that: | |
| (a) | The thermostats are opening correctly. | |
| (b) | Water valve is opening fully. | |
| (c) | The flaps and linkage are correctly adjusted for the heating | |
| (d) | The fans give adequate air flow at maximum speed. | |
| 10. | If the above criteria are not met, check the following: |
| 11. | If water temperature will not reach normal in 7 minutes, check thermostat(s). |
| 12. | Water temperature is normal but the air outlet temperature remains low, check that vacuum to heater water valve is at |
| least 8 1/2 inches (Hg). If vacuum is sufficient, replace valve. However, if vacuum is low, check supply through water valve actuator, switch and supply pipe for a pinched condition. | |
| 13. | If air velocity is low, check that appropriate flaps are fully closed. Adjust linkage if necessary. Excessive air flow may be |
| caused by demist control flap sticking open. | |
| 14. | If after checking flaps, air flow is still low, check blower motors for full voltage at maximum speed and that the motors are |
| wired for correct rotation. |
| 1. | Engine at normal running temperature - Check that engine vacuum is at least 8 1/2 (Hg) inches. |
| 2. | With engine running, select 65 on TEMPERATURE SELECTOR. Wait 1 minute then select Defrost: DEFROST |
| SCREEN OUTLETS should open and provide maximum hot air flow to screen. Air should have equal velocity from each side. | |
| 3. | There should be a small air bleed to the footwells. Heavy flow indicates a fault with lower heater flap linkage or flap |
| actuator. | |
| 4. | Select AUTO at MODE CONTROL 65 at TEMPERATURE SELECTOR. Wait 5 minutes for camshaft to travel to full |
| cooling mode and observe the following: | |
| 5. | The center dash flap should open first and would indicate the vacuum system to this component is O.K. If it does not |
| open, suspect mechanical seizure or vacuum supply fault. | |
| 6. | Secondly, the heater water valve should close (observe arm movement - should be drawn fully into the unit). If this |
| occurs, it demonstrates the camshaft vacuum switch, water valve and piping is in working order. | |
| 7. | When the camshaft reaches the end of its travel to the full cooling mode position, the H1 speed/Recirculation microswitch |
| puts the fans in HIGH speed. The vacuum solenoid is also energized allowing a vacuum feed to the vacuum actuator on the blower casings placing the air inlet flaps in the recirculation mode. Check that flaps drop down to the fullest extent which indicates vacuum system O.K. |
Failure to do this indicates either mechanical seizure or vacuum failure.
NOTE: When the vacuum supply is disconnected from any component, the component should return rapidly to its rest position. Also, bear in mind that the vacuum pipes may be perished, split or pinched causing complete failure or intermittent operation.
S1002 Page 73 of 88
A vacuum functional test should be performed prior to testing the Electrical/Electronic circuitry. Use the appropriate circuit diagrams and keep in mind that shorted, poorly grounded or open circuited wires may be the actual cause of component failure.
ELECTRICAL FEED FUSE FAILURES
There are four fuses which protect the air conditioning unit:
| 1. | If fan motors fail to function on all speeds, check the 35 amp. supply fuse #F10 at the main fuse box. |
| 2. | Ignition supply 35 amp. fuse #F11 controls all ignition auxiliary units, i.e. air conditioner, wipers, washers, etc. If this fuse |
| fails, disconnect feed to air conditioner and replace fuse - Operate all auxiliary items to determine whether the fault lies in the auxiliary items or the air conditioner. | |
| 3. | The third fuse is a delayed action fuse in the amplifier positive line. If, upon replacement, the fuse still fails, the amplifier, |
| thermistors, Diodes, camshaft motor and associated wiring is suspected, If no fault is apparent, disconnect camshaft motor and thermistor. If fuse still fails, replace amplifier. | |
| 4. | The fourth fuse is a 10 amp. fuse which protects the feed to the compressor clutch. If, on substitution, the fuse still fails, |
| disonnect compressor clutch lead and try again. If it still fails, suspect Ranco thermostat or Ranco override switch. Test each item with an ohmmeter. |
FAN FAULTS
If fan faults exist, a voltage check must be taken at the input feed and fan supply leads.
| 1. | The input feed should register 12 volts. |
| 2. | The other feeds are through the HIGH speed/Recirculation switch and Diode 5 (D5) for the high speed fan. This feed only |
| occurs when the camshaft is in the full cooling mode and should reflect 12 volts. If, when full cooling is selected, the fans do not go into HIGH speed, the relay is O.K. and the fault lies with D5, the high speed/recirculation switch on the camshaft or the wiring. |
Two additional feeds are between the 10 amp. clutch fuse and the water temperature thermostat.
S1002 Page 75 of 88FAN SWITCH FAULTS
There are five switches which directly control the fans:
| (a) High/Recirculation fan switch on camshaft (described under fan faults). | |||
| (b) High speerl switch on MODE control. | |||
| (c) Low speed switch on MODE control. | |||
| (d) Med 1 (2nd speed) switch on camshaft. | (e) Med 2 (3rd speed) switch on camshaft. | ||
| 1. | High Speed Switch - If cooling is selected by switching temperature selector setting from 85 to 65, the high speed fan | ||
| should eventual1y be selected and the recirculation flaps should open. If not, the fault lies in the switch or an open circuit wire - depending on Ambient temperature. | |||
| 2. | Low Speed Switch - If only the highest fan speed is available and there is no output from the flaps in any position other | ||
| than in high and full cooling, the fault lies in the low speed switch or wiring. | |||
| NOTE: Distortion of the MODE CONTROL carrier (sheet metal) can cause maladjustment of mode control microswitches. | |||
| 3. | MED 1 (2nd speed) Switch | ||
| Located on the camshaft - Failure of MED 1 switch will exhibit the following if faulty: |
| (a) | Very low air output when unit is in full heating mode. | |
| (b) | Only three changes of fan speeds when selecting 65 from 85 at temperature selector. If so, check switch and/or | |
| wiring. |
| 4. | MED 2 (3rd speed) Switch |
| Located on the camshaft - Failure of MED 2 switch will be apparent by failure of the camshaft to select 3rd speed when going in or out of the full cooling mode. If so, check switch and/or wiring. |
COMPRESSOR CLUTCH FAULTS
| 1. | If fans are functioning correctly there will be a 12 volt feed to the fuse protecting the field circuit. |
| 2. | If refrigeration is not occurring, then the clutch circuit must be tested. |
| 3. | Check 10 amp. fuse, if failed, disconnect wire from compressor clutch. If fuse still fails, the circuit should be checked for |
| continuity as should the Ranco override switch and Ranco thermostat. If fuse fails when reconnecting clutch wire, then clutch winding is suspected. |
CAMSHAFT MOTOR FAULTS
| 1. | Select 85 from 65 at the Temperature selector. This is full heating mode which causes the relay in the amplifier to switch the |
| purple lead of the motor circuit to a 12 volt positive feed. A voltmeter check should then show 12 volts at the purple lead -.0 volts at the red lead. | |
| 2. | After a few minutes, select 65 from 85 which causes the amplifier to energize a second relay which switches the positive 12 |
| volt feed to the red lead and negative 0 volts to the purple lead. | |
| 3. | If events listed in 1 and 2 occur, the amplifier control of the camshaft motor is correct. If the camshaft motor does not |
| function, check continuity of the full heating and full cooling limit switches and wiring. | |
| 4. | If all the foregoing proves correct, check diodes for forward and reverse bias modes. |
| 5. | Should all this prove to be correct, check continuity of motor windings and if faulty, replace camshaft assembly. |
AMPLIFIER FAULTS
In addition to the amplifier checks performed under camshaft motor faults, the following two checks may also be performed:
| (a) | There is a 12 volt positive input at the brown lead and a good ground at the black lead. |
| (b) | That when DEFROST is selected the relay inside the amplifier immediately connects the purple lead to 12 volt positive |
| supply. There is a delayed action fuse in the brown positive input lead to protect the servo, wiring and amplifier. |
CAMSHAFT MICROSWITCHES
It is recommended that if microswitch failure occurs that the complete servo unit be replaced, however, wires to switches should be checked for chafing, fraying and loose connections, etc. - Continuity checks may also he performed.

The procedure provides a check list of six tests on hand and automatic control. The sequence must be strictly followed as each check-out is based on the satisfactory result of previous tests. This method avoids undue repetition of tests and back referencing.
Before the fault finding sequence is started, the car engine must he run to ensure that the water is hot and that there is adequate vacuum in the system. For subjective and cooling tests the engine should be running for the refrigeration compressor to operate.
EQUIPMENT
The chart is based on the availability of the following test equipment:
| (i) | VOLTMETER - to cover range O-13V D.C. | |
| (ii) | CONTINUITY TESTER - to check for harness breaks | |
| (iii) | RESISTANCE METER - up to 20K ohms - to check sensors | |
| (iv) | VACUUM GAUGE - (not essential) - to check vacuum level in vacuum tubes. |
PROCEDURE
The following sequence must be followed to cover all foreseeable faults:
| HAND CONTROL | - TEST 1 - 'OFF' POSITION | |
| - TEST 2 - 'DEFROST' | ||
| - TEST 3 - AUTO - HIGH | ||
| - TEST 4 - AUTO - LOW | ||
| AUTOMATIC CONTROL | - TEST 5 - AMPLIFIER/SERVO RESPONSE | |
