92 legacy wagon AWD 5MT All stock 2.2 liter Great car otherwise

Thanks for the tip. I pulled the whole thing apart, inspected every wire and connection and found nothing that raised suspicion. then I pulled all the relays, reconnected the negative battery terminal and started the car. The fuse was still good. the instant I hit a/c it blew even with the relays were still out!. I'm pulling my hair out. Could a bad controller cause this? I have a different one coming in any day now. Separately, I replaced the relays, pulled the fuse, jumped the compressor to the battery and it blew cool wonderful a/c through the vents even with the fuse removed.

I've been fighting my a/c for a while now. Finally it quit. Everything checks out including pressure switches, relays, clutch ... I found the a/c 10A fuse blown, replaced it and it immediately blew again. Tried a 20A fuse, Blew! Jumped the a/c clutch to the battery through an ammeter, Works fine, draws less than 3 Amps. Where do I go from here?

Someone suggested that a bad evaprorator thermo switch could be causing the issue. Any comments on this? Basically my a/c just doesn't work, fans don't turn on, nothing cycles nada! It was actuating ocaisionally with lots of repeat button pushing but I can't get that far now. I have a used controller coming in a few days. Assumming I can get it installed without destroying the bezel, we'll see what happens.

Oh, It's a Chilton manual. Maybe that explains why it's useless.

I have a Haynes manual. Not too helpful. I'll check out the online version if I can find it. The Bezel extends around the instrumental cluster.

Thanks, I'm still not sure how to get the trim bezel off. Where are the screws. Do I need to pry off snaps etc. Just a little more help please?

Finally got on beergarage. Not what I want. I just want to replace the controller.

I can't seem to open beergarage.com. I'll try later. I just want to remove and replace the a/c heater control unit. I actually would prefer a way to bypass the a/c turn-on functionality since I've been fighting an intermittant a/c for years now. I'm ready to sell an otherwise great '92 subie. I'm still not getting auto-spell corrections. Help please

Using Firefox. Still need procedures to get that sucka out of the dash.

Need instructions on removing and replacing the A/C control unit on a 1992 Legacy AWD wagon 5-sp. I think everything else has been checked out including jumping the pressure sensors, directly powering the compressor, and checking all fuses and relays. The A/C works intermittantly. I had a shop replace the original control unit with a recycled one recently with no improvement. However, I disassembled the one taken out and found a blown diode in the circuit board. There is a bunch of them in there, just one bad apple! I plan to rebuild one good one from the 2 and reinstall it, but the shop has already charged me $260 for R&R and I'm not ready to fork out the same again. Alternately, I'd be happy with a manual toggle switch and bypass the whole unit, but I wouldn't know where to begin. Any help from my Subie brothers would be appreciated. p.s. how do you get the spell check to work on posts?
