86 SDL blower problem

I've been having a KLIMA issue were the female plug on the bottom wiggles and it looses contact....I had to shove a sock behind it to keep the compressor running..........Two days ago my fan quit and when messing with the indash unit yesterday the fan came on for about two seconds and NOTHNING!

I put in my old control unit and get no response...have played with all the fuses and wiggled the Klima and still nothing!

There's supposed to be a blower fuse "OUTSIDE" of the fuse box, but I can not find it!....nothing near the shock tower as I've read about!

Any and all reply's would be very appreciated as we are now in the moonsoon season here in AZ and that means HOT AND HUMID!

The auxiliary fuse box is usually just outside the main fuse box. It'll be aft of the false/forward firewall with the main fuse box and brake master cylinder. A black plastic fliptop box will contain a strip fuse similar to the fuse in the glow relay.

I spent four years in Tucson and learned to appreciate the weather as "not as bad as Phoenix."

The aux fuse is, as Sixto says, attached to the shock tower immediately in front of the fuse box.

See the pictures in this thread.

Found it

It's a box inside the false firewall....its the culprit....too bad I tore out the controls....I'm getting good at that!

Any advise on the wiggly klima?
I had it out and used electronic cleaner on it but its still acting up.

Female plug

is your problem with the pin "Receivers" inside the female plug that the Klima
plugs into? (with your DMM the signals are not "Steady".)

Have you gone down that diagnostic alley yet?

I believe the metal female receivers (to which the wires attach on the backside
of the plug) are replaceable[You would, of course, have brand new WIRE to
RECEIVER connections when you're through!]

OR are we talking loose pins on the Klima?

No loose pins on the Klima and the receivers in the plug are good electrically...
(AND the wiring to the plug tests O.K.)

Time to test the Klima itself...somewhere in the archives is a test sequence.
