    Main Fan not kick on

    Oh yeah,Thanks guys u are right and the picture clear it all up.But i knew where the sensor is but didnt knew there are two.....

    So if i unplug the 2wired one no fans start up.Just engine change RPM fluctuating for a while but then stabilize.If connected back do the same.This means that sensor is working i guess.So i am going to study wires diagram and find the right damm wire.By the way where is ECU located.

    PS.A/C turns both fans on?My do.

    I just wanted to add that ATF change is not ment to be done when the tranny malfunctions but rather every 30000 miles as a part of maitenance. It sound like the AT is dying.

     

    Yeah thats righ if its dying you'll just speed up process.

    Sometimes tranny died after fluid change even there was no problems before.

    Simlpy new fluid clean up the old gunk which hold tranny together.

    So you decide.....

    Good Luck

    Well what u wannt to do is called "transmission power flush" and in the shop is about 90 buck's.The way u wanna do it by your selfits the good way and synthetick is definetely best choice.But Do it like this:

     

    Find two(2) budgets big enough to hold all tranny fluid ,then fill one up with new fluid(find yourself how much your tranny need).

    Then unhook both hoses from radiator and place the one which is sucking the fluid from radiator to budget with new fluid.

    And the other one to the second empty budget then start engine and wait until clear red fluid start comming out ....

    Connect all back ,clean the mess and u are done..

    Later i will post a link to better directions from other forum ..(now is not accessible)

    Hi guys, my 92 Legacy main fan wont start so car is overheating.I checked

    the fan end is OK.I try bypass the main fan relay and it works.

    If i connect pins 3 and 4 (the pic)fan starts rights up - thats normal. But if i bypass minus right from battery to pin 1 (or 2 not shure right now) the fan starts too.... so is that normal?

    What is switching relay to ON ?The coolant temperature sensor?But the temp gauge in dash works fine....

    Any diagrams of it?Eny experience?

    Thanks in advance....

    Another legacy A/C question

    Hi i got the sam eproblem "how to know if it been converted"

    And i dont understand clearly what u mind by this:

    R-12 fitting are screw on fitting and if it been converted to 134a there are quick disconnect style fitting on it (Usually)

    You may want to look around for any retro fit stickers

    EDIT:

    Well, may be i figured out i got this recharge kit(pic) for my other car and it wouldn't probably fit to R-12 right?And it fit to thicker hose(blue cap) the thiner one got a little bit bigger valve with black cap.

    1.clutch is engaging when the A/C switch is pressed

    2.System is R12

    3.Evaporator fan is running

    4.Pressure on the thinner hose is little bit under "FILLED" mark.I got only Gauge A/C filling set and it shows only LOW-FILLED-OVER FILLED

     

    Thanks for your help

     

    So the clutch is engaging on it's own? What is the low-side pressure with the system running? If you have dual gauges the high-side pressure would be helpful as well. I have found that the R134a systems start to perform poorly with only a relatively small percentage of the refrigerant missing. Is the A/C fan running? A poorly cooled condenser will cause poor performance as well. I assume the evaporator fan is running?

     

    I'm no expert but I do have a decent book and I will help if I can.
