AC relay and Klima relay for 85 300SD
 
Can anyone tell me(or show me in a picture) where the Ac relay is or the Klima relay for a 300SD?

I once saw a picture of the relay labeled on the net and wasn't smart enough to save it.

My compressor clutch doesn't engage. Have jumped both pressure switches without success. Tested leads coming to pressure switches and there is no power. When compressor hooked up directly to power source clutch engages so I know it is working. Seems to me it is either the ACC unit or a relay that goes to the pressure switches and the compressor clutch.
I would appreciate a diagram with the relays labeled and a diagram/description of where the Klima relay is. Please hurry! I have a black Benz and have already lost 10lbs (I wish) due to dehydration!

Can't be positive on the '85, but, you are looking for a black box, slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes, sitting, most likely, directly in front of the driver between the two firewalls.

Here's what it looks like:

Are you familiar with troubleshooting the Klima?

Trouble shooting the Klima
 
No, I'm not but familiar with troubleshooting the Klima if you can give assistance there too I'd greatly appreciate it.

I can assist you with it, however, the pin configuration is a bit different than the '86. The '85 clearly has less pins.

A schematic for the '85 with the pin callouts would be necessary to proceed.

Maybe another member would have this.

Brian,

I need help too. The AC quit on my 87SDL today and wouldn't start working again after I turned the key off and on which is what use to get it working again. BTW, what does "KLIMA" stand for?

PEH, I can certainly help you with that one. The "KLIMA" is a term for the a/c relay that lives between the firewalls on the driver's side. It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes and it unplugs from the sockets.

It's a bit late tonight, but we can start on it in the morning if you want.

You'll need a VOM that measures resistance and you'll need some jumper wires to jump some pins in the sockets where the Klima inserts.

Brian,

SUN morning would be OK. Would it be better to do it by e-mail or Yahoo messenger than this web site.

I have VOM. How many jumper wires will I need?

I'll send you a private message with my e-mail and YM address.

e-mail is fine PEH.

You will only need one set of jumpers to perform some basic tests. That and the VOM. If the Klima is the problem, you will need an "ice cube" relay to replace it. The ice cube relay will require four wires extending from the pins into the sockets of the Klima. The sockets of bullet nose connectors fit the pins on the "ice cube". The sockets of standard blue wire connectors fit the sockets of the Klima. The O.D. of the socket on a standard wire connector fits the I.D. of the socket just perfectly. You will need to carefully strip the plastic insulation off one end of the wire connector so that it can slip into the Klima sockets.

Klima is German for climate, as in control.

(English and German are essentially the same language.)
