Retrofit A/C to Connect tddi

[rouleman]

How difficult is to retrofit an air condition on a connect tddi that doesn't have one.??
Is this possible or forget it..??

[g-man]

would'nt think it would be that hard if you're handy.......get all bits off a scrapper and hope they're ok

The whole parts found from a connect, not crashed, untill tomorrow i know the exactly cost of them,
the instalation i will make myshelf, i think i can make it. the only part i am worried is the electrical part.

[rouleman]

From monday i will have all the parts that i need in my garage,

but the only think i have stuck, is that i didn't find wiring digrams for A/C, so i need the wiring diagrams of air condition, has anyone have that? i would very thankfull...

i have the workshop manual of haynes, but it has not wirings diagrams for A/C, and has some instruction for it,

fortunately i found this topic,
viewtopic.php?f=54&t=135101
that a member hopkins569 upload a usefull guide, that include A/C components and parts, and thank him, but has no wiring diagrams

i would very thankfull if anyone have them, and help me with that

I assume your connect is a left hand drive

I assume your connect is a left hand drive

Judging by his previous posts, I would say Yes.

[rouleman]

Yes, left hand drive, here in Greece....

used wiring connectors removed from crashed mondeo mk3, i couldn't find new ones even to the ford dealer, for patch wires to ecu and a/c wot relay, because no wiring harness for A/C was available, only one wire was available, from a/c button to the connector that is on the left side.


new wiring on the connector to the engine side loom.


patch wires to the ecu multiconnector


heater and evaporator housing, removed, a hole for a/c lines is already there, the upper one.


the old heater housing, the dog is taking a nap!!!


on the old heater housing, the spot that should be the exit for A/C lines, just is blind.
