Travis, The TTS could be stuck closed , they are not that expensive to 
replace.  You may also in the ordeal have gas fouled he plugs to the point

they might need to be replaced. Drive it around for a while and check them

for proper burning. There is a chart on the web site. The wires would have
to 
be pretty bad to jump or broke rubber or something like that.

<< Could it be that the thermo-time switch was stuck closed and unplugging
it
 caused it to be released, leaving it stuck open all the time?
 
 Early on, I was checking the spark at the plug and I couldn't get one.
Will
 the spark jump out past the rubber sheath when grounded to the engine?

Brian, It's a common problem that the 4th speed in the heater fan/blower 
motor will shut off. You can replace the circuit breaker and it will do it

again when on the fourth speed. I wouldn't advise uping the current on the

circuit breaker, just don't run the fans on 4th speed. Use 3rd as max. It 
won't hurt for a while then when they shut off goto 3rd. 3rd and 4th go
thru 
the CB and 1st and 2nd go from the switch. You also have a relay for 3rd
and 
4th ea.

<< Does anybody have an idea why my heater fan shuts off when running 
 the ac.I'll have it on high then it with stop blowing or will blow on 
 low,if you turn the fan switch to low then back to high it will work 
 usauly.It does this quite a bit but not all the time.Could this be a 
 bad switch or some type of power falure?Any thoughts would be 
 appreciated

Subject: RE: a/c leak?

AutoZone had a red dye that didnot require a u/v light. I wouldn't do that
one for fear of it getting into carpets.....
I, too, am curious. I still haven't located my a/c "pressure release"
system. :)

Subject: [DML] a/c leak?


I have read DML postings where people explain that they put leak detector
dye in the a/c system and then find leaks all over the rubber hoses
running
along the chassis.  I understand that anywhere there is a refrigerant
leak,
there will also be an oil residue present.

QUESTION #1:
So if the entire length of the hose becomes porous enough to be a leak,
wouldn't the hose also appear oily looking?  I'm getting ready to rebuild
my
compressor and replace the dryer & expansion orifice, so I don't want to
waste R-12 in a system that won't keep it.

QUESTION #2
Speaking of dyes to find leaks in the a/c system, can anyone say how long
these work before they break down?  I heard a rumor that they have a short
useful life once put in the system.

I am familiar with the variety of dye that needs to be illuminated with an
ultraviolet light to become visible.

QUESTION #3
Is there another variety of dye that is visible without a UV light?

Thanks,
Walt    Tampa, FL
