Electrical Supply Switches and Fuses

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The electrical components of the air conditioning system draw current from three separate relays mounted in the engine compartment closure panel. The air conditioning system is mastered from the starter relay and is switched OFF during engine cranking.

Each component in turn is energized and controlled a series of relays and switches as indicated by the circuit diagram.

Both condenser fans operate together when the air conditioning circuit is switched ON, and when the ignition is switched ON and the coolant temperature is high. This is sensed by the engine water temperature sensor.

The three blade type fuses are located in the fuse box mounted on the lower dash panel. They are numbered A1 to A3. It is essential to use a fuse of the same value when fitting a replacement.
