I had my 1970 GS A/C serviced due to it not working. The system was charged and is not leaking. Good news! But the Compressor will not kick on. The tech checked things and says it is the A/C switch in the back of the Heater A/C panel. They jumped the compressor and it works OK. I also replaced the relay and not change. I can feel around behind it and wiggle it and I can hear the Compressor kick on. I have had no luck finding a new replacement on line. So I am asking if anyone knows if I can repair it or if there is a spare floating around on here.
If Fred can't find his, I offered this to another board member a couple months back but he went in a different direction. All the moving parts move as they should and all you'd need would be a new woodgrain sticker from Todd Miller. $65/shipped with PayPal F&F.
If you can wiggle it and it works, it's probably just a dirty or loose connection. Pull it and fix it!
Thanks for getting back to me guys. I am trying to avoid pulling the dash and just ran out of time tonight. I will hit it again on Tuesday. Thanks again for all the support and help!
Well after removing the lower A/C ducting, distribution box, radio, glove box, dash pad and finally loosening the instrument cluster I finally got that unit out. All looks good with a bit of cleaning of the points and bit of adjustments it appears to be working. For now! What an ordeal, but gave me the time to investigate much deeper into the car. Time to clean up things. Now to remember how it goes back together. lol I am amazed at the bulb opening are melted and don't look like they will retain a socket. I also found the non working radio is junk, and appears the one connection is soldered to the case.
