My AC cut out the other day, I believe it's the AC relay, anyone here own a Japanese import that can point me to it or suggest whatever else I should test? I will test the fuses this weekend but want to get a head start if it's the relay (once I find it).

 

thanks.

If it’s a JDM it will be on the rhs of the steering wheel under the bottom dash cover. Looks the same as the engine MFU - Multi Function Unit aka relay pack. Many are white rather than the black of the engine bay type.

Excellent Ill tear into this afternoon. The next problem will be replacing it, if my sleuthing is correct it seems to be discontinued and hard to find NOS

Yes you’re right....but like the engine MFU if you carefully open it with a craft knife you can replace the relays (it have done on engine MFU before cannibalising other ones)

Never was able to ID the correct relay but I did manage to find the culprit; an inline fuse hidden behind stock airbox was a complete disaster (3 pieces). I replaced 4 other inline fuses while I was at it and everything is running fine
