Re: AC not working on your Escort or ZX2? Read this.

You can bypass it fine with all the same controls- if you do it right- use the same four input/output wires the CCRM uses and a bosch style external relay- no need to open up CCRM- just solder four wires and now you have an exact parallel circuit. PCM still has complete control, exactly as before. Just grab a wiring diagram and create your paralle circuit- I've done 5 or 6 this way with no issues and no comebacks..
