rickeieio Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is the power outlet ( aka cigar lighter) on the dash of my Volvo powered by the same circuit as the a/c?

Darryl&Rita Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Unnnnh.... A/C should have it's own fuse, the clutch is a pretty heavy load. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

jkoenig24 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Not likely. If you'll be at the ECR, you can borrow my logic probe and map out what 12VDC fuses power what circuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickeieio Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 This question was asked because the power outlet and a/c quit about the same time. Welllllll, we found the issue with the a/c, a leaky Schroeder valve on the high pressure line. Simple fix, no? No. Unscrew it, and it won't come out. Gotta replace the line. Volvo specific piece, none to be found in these parts. Order from warehouse (where house?), 3-5 day delivery. Looks we'll meander around Conroe area for a bit.

forxlr8n Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 He again I'd call DEX truck parts in NC. I know a couple of months ago we sent them 3 trailer loads of (NOS) a/c lines and hoses. The factory is zero landfill so everything goes to DEX. "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it." Lord Kelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thanks forxlr8n. I'm hopefully they found something after I left yesterday.

rickeieio Posted January 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just got off the phone with the repair shop. They found a line in El Paso. Over $500. But at least it's on the way.

forxlr8n Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 I just called down there. They have a walk in counter also. "If you can not measure it, you can not improve it." Lord Kelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could just walk up....its a bit of a drive for me! I've talked to them on the phone a few times and tried to order some older parts for my Volvo but they always tell me i have to go through a dealer that they work with. That would be ok except then I don't get the better DEX price! My local Volvo dealer isn't really to keen on ordering from DEX for some reason.

At this point, I'm in no position to ruffle feathers, so I'll bite the bullet and pay for the part and shipping. I really want to get it fixed so we can continue on our way west, and this seems to be the quickest way, at a cost. if I had the luxury of doing this in my own shop, I could save a few hundred $$$, but we're 1000 miles from home, headed the wrong way.

Darryl&Rita Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Couldn't a good A/C shop build the line faster, maybe even cheaper? My local guy builds replacement lines all the time.

rickeieio Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Darryl, I asked that same question. They said nobody around here would do it. I've done it on farm tractors, but back home, I know where to go. This stuff never happens at home. When you're on the road, you are at a disadvantage. So, we holed up near friends and make lemonade.

rickeieio Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Happy ending........Darryl, get your mind out of the gutter. The line arrived this morning. Looking at it, I can see why it's expensive. Quite the convoluted piece. The shop finished right at closing time, total bill a freckle over $1,000. Well over $500 for the line, plus 134a and incidentals, and I'm sure they cut the labor in half. While swapping out the lines, he discovered a missing o-ring on the high pressure sensor. Someone's been here before, and possibly caused a leak. Anywho, we're outa here in the morning. Headed back down to I-10 via Sealy, might be able to catch up with Exile for a bit, and hope to make Del Rio tomorrow.
