I've attached a PDF diagram of how to implement the Klima functions using 2 "Ice-Cube" relays. You want to use real "Ice-Cube" relays and NOT the Automotive style relays. The coil impedance is important, Automotive relays use a low resistance coil, ice cube relays use a high resistance coil. If you use a low-resistance coil, you will damage the ACC, it has a maximum burden of 1 amp!
There are 2 limitations here:
1: You will not have a "delayed" compressor engagement based on RPM when starting the car. This isn't a huge deal, the delay was removed from later Klima relays.
2: You will not have the belt-protection function from the speed sensor on the compressor.
Otherwise, all other functions of the Klima relay are left intact.
- The Kickdown is left energized and gets rid of that squirrely relay that was done away with in later models
- The "cutout" switch on the accelerator will cut out the compressor when closed
- The overheat switch in the head will cut out the compressor when it closes
- The ACC will cycle the compressor as it normally would
- The refrigerant switch is in the wire from #10 to the ACC, so the system is still protected from pressures too high or too low.
