300E air conditioner

Reply to benzidude - to jump the compressor, remove the 3 conductor connector at the compressor and jumper from the battery plus terminal to the clutch connector (the blue/green wire). It's a little tricky getting the connector off because there is a little knob on the plastic piece in the front of the connector that fits into a hole in the connector. You have to push the plastic piece away from the connector with a screwdriver while lifting up on the connector. Hope this helps.

Different subject for anyone who can help. I installed a new (not rebuilt) MAS control unit yesterday, and the A/C worked beautifully. Unfortunately today the compressor stopped working again, and I have the exact same symptoms as with the old MAS; i.e., power to the MAS from the pressure switch, but no power to the compressor clutch. In addition, fuse #7 blew, and I can't connect this with a failure of the new MAS. I hate to just throw in another MAS without some assurance that I don't have an underlying problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks - Walt Lake
