With the A/C switch off,
it was giving me a slight white smoke, and as I turn the A/C on, the smoke
increase and smells so bad, and ofcourse I had to turn them off and stuff.

It doesn't smoke anymore since I unplugged that brown(tan?) wire going to the control.

Could this be my temp. sensor thing? or the control itself?


any ideas before I possibly waste 100$ on a new control?

thanks!

 

The following from Sofakingdom:

Remove the AC control head. Observe the wiring. You'll find a harness with about 4 or 5 wires in it that goes off one way (toward the blower resistors and the AC low-pressure switch, actually), and a single brown wire that goes off another way all by itself. That brown wire is the power source for the entire HVAC system. Follow it about 12-15" up into the dash. You'll come to a connector. Attempt to unplug it. You'll almost certainly find that it has degenerated into a pile of ashes. Replace it, even if it "looks" good to you, with a set of BIG THICK HEAVY yellow insulated slide terminals; not the ordinary little weenie thin ones, but rather, BIG THICK HEAVY. Odds are, that will fix it.

thanks James,
although I have another question though.

tracing that wire for 12-15", will that require the whole dash to come out or something? seems pretty long to me.
I'll try and take a look and try to find a pile of ash. Thanks!!

 

You shouldn't have to remove the dash.. just the bottom area under the driver's side. Since that is the way the wire goes.

 

hey thanks!

I'll look into that sometime tomorrow then
