I'm in the process of installing my jdm climate control, but I have a question about the in car temp sensor. It has a tube connected to the back of it, I have that part, but I don't have the vacuum showed in this picture: http://www.jrcormier.com/prelude/jdm...control/20.jpg
Can I get one of these vacuums from a CL or am I supposed to make this somehow? Is it still going to measure the temp of my dash if I only have the tube going to the bottom of the heater unit? And im not sure I understand why you need to make a hole in the bottom of the heater unit for the tube (or vacuum I guess), is this to give the air some place to go that is getting sucked down there instead of it creating some kind of drift near your feet? Thanks
Nobody knows? I kind of need to know if I have to make a hole in the heater unit and plug it until I can find the vacuum part so all I'll have to take off is my console to install it.
I don't think you need to worry about this. When i did my conversion 4 years ago, i simply ran the interior temp sensor to one of the dummy buttons in the center console. No hoses or vaccuums. It still works beautifully to this day
Ok awesome, thanks. Although I wonder if the dash gets hotter than the center console? I'm sure it doesn't matter, tho. When you installed your heater core temp sensor, did you just try and wedge it in between the metal core and plastic? I did that and made a little metal cover, I hope this is how its supposed to measure the temp. Also with the heater valve solenoid, is it supposed to actually replace the Evap solenoid and go right in place where it was? Thanks Bertico!
Given this was done so long ago the details are hazy, but if i do remember correctly i didn't even mess with the heater core temp sensor or the heater valve solenoid, or even the sunlight sensor. I did without all that and it still functions the right way.
The best i can do right now is refer you to THE thread about installing a JDM CC. I had every one of my questions answered there. Good luck!
Thanks Bertico, im searching for a answer on why my blower is messed up but maybe you can remember? Iv'e hooked it up correctly to my knowledge but the blower wants to blow at one speed (I think the 4th bar). All I have put back in is the blower, not the evaporator or the heater unit. Does it need these other things to work fully or is something messed up with the wiring on the blower unit? Also, at this point, when I turn on my hazard switch the blower unit and lights on the CC unit kind of dim and cut out every click...is this normal? Thank You!
I don't think the blower depends on the heater unit or evaporator to function. Double check Jean's wiring diagram for the blower and make sure you have the high relay. I re-drew the diagram in a way i would understand which wire to tap into and where to run it and thank God it worked right the first time. If all the wiring is correct then there's the possibility one or more of the parts you've got may be defective? Just keep troubleshooting and I'm sure you'll get it to work.
I will have to double check all my wires tomorrow I guess, kind of pissed since I could of got alot more done, haha. Ahhhh, I guess thats the way it goes with the JDM CC install tho huh, haha. Thank you, I may have more questions for you if I cant find answers when the time comes!
The blower motors wiring is really confusing, I'll try to explain how I wired everything up.
On my power transistor I have a harness attached with a thick BLU/RED wire and a thick BLK wire and a smaller WHT/BLU wire. I attached the thick BLU/RED wire from the PT harness to the thick BLU/RED wire going to the bottom of the blower motor (the harness for it has 2 thick wires, that I believe powers the blower motor). I attached the thick BLK wire to a ground that I know is good. The smaller WHT/BLU wire I connected it to the no.9 WHT/BLU wire from the JDM 16 Pin.
So far I have this
PT Harness ------Where they are run too
BLU/RED----------BLU/RED (Blower 2 wire connection under the unit)
BLK----------------Grounding Point
WHT/BLU---------no.9 WHT/BLU 16 Pin
So now we have to fix up the relay I bought (I got one from the auto parts store, its fine as long as its a 12v relay right???)
First I'll deal with the coil side of the relay. For one of the pins I have to connect it to the no.9 fuse in the fusebox in the car. On the jrcormier write-up he suggests to wire it into the BLK/YEL wire going to my recirculation motor. So thats what I did, I just cut a little before the recircularion clip and spliced a wire into this connection leading to one of the 2 coil pins on the relay. For the second coil pin I ran a wire to the no.3 BLU/ORG wire on the 20 pin.
Now for the switch side of the relay. I spliced a wire into the already ran ground for the power transistor (the thick BLK wire). For the second switch pin on the relay I ran the wire straight to the no.1 BLU/RED wire on the 16 pin. But then I spliced a wire into that wire I just ran, and spliced the other end into the thick BLU/RED wire from the transistor.
So for the relay its like this
Coil pin 1 ----------BLK/YEL wire from Recirculation Motor
Coil pin 2 ----------BLU/ORG from 20 pin
Switch pin 1 -------small no.1 BLU/RED from 16 pin...this wire is also connected with Thick BLU/RED wire from Power Transistor harness
Switch pin 2 -------Spliced into the ground from Power Transistor harness
Does anyone see that I did anything wrong maybe? I am kind of having power issues with the whole car. I haven't had ANY power issues with the car until I just wired this blower motor, so it has to be something with it. I played with the recirculation motor button a little (it works just fine) and all of the sudden it looked like my car was going to shut down completely. The blower was shutting off and coming back on very rapidly and all lights were very dim, from headlights to key ignition light. I took the key out of the ignition and repowered everything and it was fine, until I hit the recirculation motor button again. I had to leave after that so I didn't get to fool with it anymore, so I don't know. *sigh*...Headache.
Ok like an idiot I surely hooked the BLU/ORG wire where the BLU/RED wire was supposed to go and vise versa. Those BLU/ORG and BLU/RED wires look VERY similar. I got that all straightened out, but now im only getting 3 speeds. And we hooked a battery tester/charger to my battery, it said 100% last night. But today it is saying around 75%, so we hooked it up and tried everything and I have all the power in the world, so its nothing to do with a bad wire. Maybe a battery going bad? Or maybe just needs a good charge, although I swear it said 100% last night, haha. So what do you think about only 3 speeds? Seems like it does speed 1, 2, and 4...seems like it does a pretty big leap in swiftness. I almost don't want to fool with it and except 3 speeds, haha.
