Bypassing Computer To Power Ac Compressor.?
| July 6, 2009 | Posted by HTBP under How to Bypass |
I have a 199 Ford Windstar whose computer started acting up a week ago. A bunch of items on the Van stopped working including the AC. The blower still works fine , but the compressor doesn't turn on. Is it possible to directly run a seperate 12v source to the compressor to have it turn on. I simply refuse to get a new computer, since I've only owned this car for 4 months and already spend $3500 on repairs. Will it work if its given power directly from any 12v source.
yep,12v to compressor will work.
same question shame shame
The reason AC is not working is usually because Ford has a "Fail Safe Mode" in the ECM. It shuts AC compressor down and usually
( if V8 ) will cut the engine power in half (runs on 4 cylinders). Get a
OBD II Code Reader to check the status of your vehicles ECM.
I would not recommend Bypassing the Computer.
No. You will be bypassing controls as well. The A/C would run continuously.
