Took it to a shop for leak test and wiring check, fuse was blown and system had air. Discharge + recharge = $96. A/C working in front strong !

Hi Im having A/C issues with my JDM 80. My main issue is not having A/C. Compressor is rebuilt. Gave it Freon but it air is still not cold. Compressor gets power. and engages on/off. There was some cold air at some point and I'm not an A/C expert so I go off the gauge on the Freon filler can...

None of the fuses blew but the wire behind the fuse box was burnt. Got it fixed !

Thank you ! Made another blunder: - Driver side + - terminals touched accidentally while other battery was still connected. There was a small spark. This happened when I was putting everything back after installing the alternator. Problem: - The fan in the car is not blowing, the climate...

Got the alternator rebuilt from a local shop for $100. Christmas lights are gone. Learned a lot in the last 2 days :)

Inspected the alternator, took the back cover off, looks burnt almost

@Firewout The connection behind the alternator looked ok, it was brittle and pieces from the edges of the clip broke when I tugged it. I got the alternator mounting bolts out but its just pivoting in its place and not coming out. Also it has its own tensioner too? The belts were not loose...

It was the gauge fuse that was blown. Its cranking now :sob::sob::sob: All the dash lights are on now, Timing belt, turbo, Oil Temp, Fuel water gauge light, handbrake light Do I need to pull that alternator out and inspect it?

This is what I've been using to jump each battery

@iwan_t24 Thanks for the reply ! @StarCruiser I didn't see your reply in time on NOT messing with the big cable that connects to the bottom of the starter motor. Heres what I did: - Disconnect the big cable on the starter motor and tried to crank. Got the same single click noise. - Hotwired...

Im a noob, so excuse the questions if they're super obvious and the baby steps :) I also didn't have a 17mm or 19mm spanner so will get that tomorrow most likely

Thank you @StarCruiser & @clivehorridge. I was able to have a friend help me out today. Here's what I did: - Measured voltage on 12-24v switchover relay before and after crank. Got 12V (11.9ish) and (11.9ish) before ignition turn. After turn, E showed ~18V + It was really cold, I can...

Thank you for the responses ! I get the same click with a jump starter. Will try the starter diagnostics and upload pics !

Greetings, I am new to this community and just fulfilled my childhood dream of having a project car. 80 series Diesel LC (JDM). I grew up in Kenya, East Africa where the road conditions are not that great. The ideal car to have is an AWD Subaru (Safari Rally culture) and Toyotas/Nissans as...
