NB HVAC in an NA
 
So I'm swapping an 99 interior into my NA (I know the dash is heavier) but I'm stuck with wiring the HVAC. I found this thread on m.net but I just don't understand it. Hopefully someone here does.

So far I've got the lights to work and the fan to work in all 4 speeds. The a/c compressor isn't kicking on though.

The a/c switch completes a ground. Add a ground jumper and see what happens.

To which of the 3 wires? There's a pink, black/blue and blue/yellow one.

page 2. nothing goes directly to gnd. they are all interlocked.

levnubhin 10-05-2009 11:30 PM

I'm stumped. The directions on m.net say to connect AP5 to BP3, but there is no P3 if I'm looking at it correctly.

True. But if you follow the diagram, the Pink is V+ for the a/c on LED and is hot key-on. When you push the a/c button, the pink and the black/blue are connected to blue/yellow. blue/yellow is a (shitty) ground.

According to the instructions on m.net the blue/yellow wire needs to go through a diode, should I still try grounding it?

confusing at the least because there's two blu/yel and one goes to a 30A fan fuse!?

but yeah it looks like the Blu/yel out of the AC circuit goes to ground via the fan speed switch.

ben, do you call it shitty because it only goes directly to gnd in fan 1, otherwise it's thru a resistor?

That makes sense. No, don't touch the blu/ylw

Ground the blk/blu and the a/c comp should kick on. Ground the pink and the diode should light up.

Took me a minute to find what you're looking at. Yes, you are correct. There are (2) blue/yellow wires that provide power to relays. We're ignoring those. The blue/yellow wire we're looking at is between the a/c button and the fan switch. It's the ground for the a/c switch, run through the fan speed controller as an AND gate. For a/c to activate, the button must be depressed AND the fan speed controller must not be in the off position.

And phil, yes, you will need a diode on this blue/yellow.

levnubhin 10-06-2009 10:18 AM

Shit, I was wrong. If I'm reading the instructions right the diode is supposed to be on the blk/blue wire.

The purpose of the diode is to prevent the blower motor from grounding through the a/c amp, so it wouldn't matter which wire you put it on.

So which wire should I ground?

To test operation? Ground the black/blue.

BTW, I'm looking at the 99 schematic.

levnubhin 10-06-2009 10:36 AM

A refers to the plug on the car-side of the harness.
B refers to the NB pigtail.

A-P1 -- AC3 & B-P4 (fan speed 1)
A-P2 -- B-P5 (fan speed 2)
A-P3 -- AC1
A-P4 -- diode* (inline) to AC2
A-P5 -- B-P3 My problem is here, there is no P3 on the plug that goes to the HVAC

A-S1 -- B-S2 (fan speed 3)
A-S2 -- B-S3 (fan speed 4)
A-S3 -- B-S1 (ground)

L1 -- B-P1
L2 -- B-P2

Even with the Diode on it? The dash and HVAC I have are from a 99.

This is gibberish. Needs pictures.

1st pic is the NA pig tail, second two plug into the NB HVAC. The 3 wire plug is the a/c button.

Bottom diagram depicts a 99 climate control connector, and how it must be wired to a 93 dash harness. 99 position 1 to 93 position 4 and so on.

I didn't finish the dash illumination system, since you said yours works, and it's on a different page of the workshop manual.

Do you mean 1 to 3?

On the large connector,
99 position 1 is fan speed 2
93 position 4 is fan speed 2

On the small NB specific 3 pin connector, position 1 NB goes to position 3 on the NA large connector. That's +V to illuminate the a/c on indicator.

I assume the R/B and G/W 2 position connector you have pictured is the NA dash illumination harness.

levnubhin 10-06-2009 01:12 PM

Ok, I think I understand and If I do then I have it all wired correctly. I think all I need to do is ground the NB3 wire which is blue/yellow?

And where should the diode go?

And in case I'm reading this wrong NB2 and NB3 both go to position 2

If you ground NB3, then the a/c comp can run with the fan off.

Suggest you continue to study the diagram

levnubhin 10-06-2009 01:46 PM

Just so I'm not mixed up I labeled the pins....

Pin 1 on the HVAC side goes to Pin 4 on the NA harness
Pin 2 on the HVAC side goes to Pin 5 on the NA harness
Pin 3 on the HVAC side is empty
Pin 4 and 5 go to the lights
Pin 6 on the HVAC side goes to Pin 7 on the NA harness
Pin 7 on the HVAC side goes to Pin 8 on the NA harness
Pin 8 on the HVAC side goes to Pin 6 on the NA harness

NB1 goes to Pin 3 on the NA harness
NB2 goes to Pin 2 with a diode on the NA harness
NB3 goes to Pin 5 on the NA harness

It probably works either way, but I think putting the diode on NB3 is a better idea, after actually looking at the diagrams.
That's why I put it there on my pinout.

Put the diode before where Pin 2 joins in?

Does not compute.

levnubhin 10-06-2009 02:58 PM

NB3 goes to Pin 5 on the NA harness
Pin 2 on the HVAC side goes to Pin 5 on the NA harness

Both go to Pin 5 on the NA pig tail

Got ya. You want the diode in line on the jumper between NA5 (main harness) and NB3 (a/c switch harness). You do not want the diode in the fan speed circuit.

Run the jumper from the NA harness 5 to NB3. Cut that wire, then put a diode in it. Note that the diode is directional. The banded end goes away from the a/c button.

Will do soon as I get home. Thanks for all your help. Once this is done I WILL need help wiring the hazard switch ;) lol.

Thanks again man.
