1987 Spider with AC
Question 1
Using the sliders on the gearshift console, I can direct the air either to the “two top dash mounted” vents for defrost or to the floor vents. The Fan is controlled by the two-speed rocker-switch
THIS SEEMS TO BE CORRECT.
When turning on the AC (rotary knob) I assume air should come out the side-vents and the 3-middle vents.
AIR COMES OUT ONLY FROM PASSENGER SIDE VENT !!!???
No air out of the 3-middle vents, no air out of drivers side vents.
I double checked the drivers side vent, this is connected to a corrugated hose and attached via a boot to a big channel (box), so that vent is definitely connected. but why is there no air flow?
Why is there no air coming out those vents?
Question 2
By the way, the AC is not charged and I do not plan on fixing it.
To get some extra airflow, can I just take the AC relay or fuse out and use the vents for extra air?
Or should I take the belt of the AC compressor?
Thanks,
Marc
