CCU Repaired!

For weeks now, I have been living with Christine, the gremlin that lived in my CCU on my 85 SD. It has been in the 100s here in NC and seemed to have quit working all together on my wife as she was driving. The AC compressor would cycle, but no blower motor. About a mile from the house, it started working...and then not. Go figure.

My troubleshooting found no power to the blower motor and also no power coming out of the CCU to the regulator. So, out came the CCU and with a slight twist and wiggle of the unit caused the blower to come on - that is until the circuit heated up some or got jiggled again, and then it cut off. I removed it and found the classic solder and circuit board components issues these things are plagued with. The relays on the board had loose solder joints, so I simply re-soldered them, thanks to several of threads started and completed by you all.

Christine has been exorcised, the CCU is clear, and mama and I are riding in R12-supplied cold air. If shes happy, I am happy.

Thanks Again!

P.S. If I turn off the AC setting at idle, or I shut the car off and restart it, the AC compressor clutch will not engage until I hit 2000-3000 rpms. Any light shed on that?

Nothing like a wife without an air conditioned car.

I am wondering if that is the problem with my CD? If I go over a bump, the blower goes off and then back on again. Also, sometimes the blower will not come on after driving the car for a while, and starting it up again. When the blower will not come on, I roll down the window. Then all of a sudden, the blower comes on. Could that be the infamous solder joint problem in the CCU?

yeah i also need to look at the blower, but the solder joints were glaringly obvious upon inspection. So far, shes still kicking. Yet another repair, not replace.
