1988 528e A/C issues
I am troubleshooting the A/C system on my '88 528e that has long been O.O.S
I installed a new compressor and receiver drier, and switching to R-134a Compressor wouldn't run, found 12 volts missing at the A/C pressure switch (only 1 switch on this car) I located the Evaporator Temperature Regulator, jumpered pins 4 and 5 and 12 volts was at the A/C pressure switch. I disassembled the Temperature Regulator, and found by applying 12 volts to pins 4 and 5, the contacts changed state. Conclusion - regulator is good. I measured the ohmic value of the Evaporator Temperature Sensor and found this to be open. My understanding is the the temperature sensor provides a ground for the temperature regulator. Was there a high failure rate of the temperature sensor? Looking at replacement parts on line, it appears there was a change in design. Does anyone agree with my troubleshooting this system? Feedback/comments welcome Thank You |
