Aircon

14 Jul 2020, 7:28am
Hi guys
Does anyone have a detailed wiring diagram of the ac on a Z3. My Haines manual has very little about it.
Could do with a description of how it works.
When I bought my car the ac belt and tensioner had been removed. I’ve replaced these but still no aircon. I done think the compressor is working as when I press the button the ac clutch doesn’t seem to do anything.
I have also put a slimline fan in and this has only 2 electric connectors but my old original fan had 3.
Thanks in advance

You need to get yourself a Z3 Service Manual published by Bentley. They are very good with full wiring diagrams but not cheap. You might get a second hand one on Ebay.

Wow
Just looked on EBay and they are nearly £100 second hand. Bit too steep for me

I have downloaded a file for E36 electrical trouble shooting. Send me your email addy and I'll attach it for you.

That link (wedophones) is where I downloaded all of the Z3 Electrical manuals from. They are the ones uploaded to the Tribute Owners FB page 😀
