[DMCForum] Re: Electrical & A/C

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walt,

I don't think the resistor is the problem because once the ckt is 
energized the resistor is hot all the time. The gauge changes while 
driving and I've had it read wrong immediately upon start up when the 
resistor would be cold. It did once this morning.

I'm pretty sure it's a ground. We'll find it.

You gave me a rough estimate for $100.00 for A/C repair. I do 
understand things go wrong and that's probably not going to be the 
final bill. Somewhere in the neighborhood is ok. I am planning on 
letting you work my A/C.

As cold as it is now, I'll probably roast my a$$ off this summer so 
it'll be nice to have.
