Things this last week was A/C went out on the Vette about 20 miles from home and 90F out there on the road. Sigh! Stopped to see if the belt was still happening and was but could not see much else in the bottom of the engine compartment.
So, windows down, radio off and finished the 80 mile run to Loggerheads and back with a glass of wine at the place. So reminded of the old days of no A/C and rode about all over the place.
So checked it out the next morning and fuses good, and change relay just incase and check pressures which were equal and then really looked at compressor and saw it was not engaging the A/C clutch.
So, to a friends shop it went and told him what all I did. He called back with A > Relay not getting signal from the PBM computer that is stashed behind the passengers side front wheel well. And a couple hundred bucks to run another wire. Go for it.
Then a call Wednesday afternoon and Your Car Is Ready. 320 bucks well worth it for the labor and know how. LOL, left front tire , inner wheel well and underneath panel has to come off to get to the computer and it has to come out a bit to work on it and snake a wire from it to the Passenger side, under the hood fuse box that houses the relay and fuse for the A/C clutch.
A quick 20 mile test ride and we good.
So started getting the section of the carport ready to paint. But no pics as had just brought camera from the cool house to the muggy outside and the lens fogged up. But, worked on blocking some holes at the roof level where we had a bird get trapped last year. I'll finish that today, Maybe! ;-) Depends how the winds of fate go.
Still picking Dew Berries but really slacking off so started thinning them out yesterday afternoon till Bren got home from work so shut that down till later.
After a quick shower go back out to shut down the Garage/shop areas. And, had to do this pic of the car and truck in their resting places.
