Qty. 1 1 Part No. 744044-VUE 784061 Description Gen IV Evaporator Sub Case Accessory Kit ** Before beginning installation, open all packages and check contents of shipment. Please report any shortages directly to Vintage Air within 15 days. After 15 days, Vintage Air will not be responsible for missing or damaged items. 1 Gen IV Evaporator Sub Case 744044-VUE 2 Accessory Kit 784061 NOTE: Images may not depict actual parts and quantities. Refer to packing list for actual parts and quantities. 3 903062 REV H 08/12/19, PG 3 OF 26 www.vintageair.com Important Notice—Please Read For Maximum System Performance, Vintage Air Recommends the Following: NOTE: Vintage Air systems are designed to operate with R134a refrigerant only. Use of any other refrigerant could damage your A/C system and/or vehicle, and possibly cause a fire, in addition to potentially voiding the warranties of the A/C system and its components. Refrigerant Capacities: Vintage Air System: 1.8 lbs. (28.8 oz.) or 816 grams of R134a, charged by weight with a quality charging station or scale. NOTE: Use of the proper type and amount of refrigerant is critical to system operation and performance. Other Systems: Consult manufacturer’s guidelines. Lubricant Capacities: New Vintage Air-supplied Sanden Compressor: No additional oil needed (Compressor is shipped with proper oil charge). All Other Compressors: Consult manufacturer (Some compressors are shipped dry and will need oil added). Safety Switches Your Vintage Air system is equipped with a binary pressure safety switch. A binary switch disengages the compressor clutch in cases of extreme low pressure conditions (Refrigerant Loss) or excessively high head pressure (406 PSI) to prevent compressor damage or hose rupture. A trinary switch combines Hi/Lo pressure protection with an electric fan operation signal at 254 PSI, and should be substituted for use with electric fans. Compressor safety switches are extremely important since an A/C system relies on refrigerant to circulate lubricant. Service Info: Protect Your Investment: Prior to assembly, it is critical that the compressor, evaporator, A/C hoses and fittings, hardlines, condenser and receiver/drier remained capped. Removing caps prior to assembly will allow moisture, insects and debris into the components, possibly leading to reduced performance and/or premature failure of your A/C system. This is especially important with the receiver/drier. Additionally, when caps are removed for assembly, BE CAREFUL! Some components are shipped under pressure with dry nitrogen. Evacuate the System for 35-45 Minutes: Ensure that system components (Drier, compressor, evaporator and condenser) are at a temperature of at least 85° F. On a cool day, the components can be heated with a heat gun or by running the engine with the heater on before evacuating. Leak check and charge to specifications. Bolts Passing Through Cowl and/or Firewall: To ensure a watertight seal between the passenger compartment and the vehicle exterior, for all bolts passing through the cowl and/or firewall, Vintage Air recommends coating the threads with silicone prior to installation. Heater Hose (Not Included With This Kit): Heater hose may be purchased from Vintage Air (Part# 31800-VUD) or your local parts retailer. Routing and required length will vary based on installer preference. 4 903062 REV H 08/12/19, PG 4 OF 26 www.vintageair.com Important Wiring Notice—Please Read Some Vehicles May Have Had Some or All of Their Radio Interference Capacitors Removed. There Should Be a Capacitor Found At Each of the Following Locations: 1. On the positive terminal of the ignition coil. 2. If there is a generator, on the armature terminal of the generator. 3. If there is a generator, on the battery terminal of the voltage regulator. Most alternators have a capacitor installed internally to eliminate what is called “whining” as the engine is revved. If whining is heard in the radio, or just to be extra cautious, a radio interference capacitor can be added to the battery terminal of the alternator. It is also important that the battery lead is in good shape and that the ground leads are not compromised. There should be a heavy ground from the battery to the engine block, and additional grounds to the body and chassis. If these precautions are not observed, it is possible for voltage spikes to be present on the battery leads. These spikes come from ignition systems, charging systems, and from switching some of the vehicle’s other systems on and off. Modern computer-operated equipment can be sensitive to voltage spikes on the power leads, which can cause unexpected resets, strange behavior, and/or permanent damage. Vintage Air strives to harden our products against these types of electrical noise, but there is a point where a vehicle’s electrical system can be degraded so much that nothing can help. Radio interference capacitors should be available at most auto and truck parts suppliers. They typically are cylindrical in shape, a little over an inch long, a little over a half inch in diameter, and they have a single lead coming from one end of the cylinder with a terminal on the end of the wire, as well as a mounting clip which is screwed into a good ground on the vehicle. The specific value of the capacitance is not too significant in comparison to ignition capacitors that are matched with the coil to reduce pitting of the points. • Care must be taken, when installing the compressor lead, not to short it to ground. The compressor lead must not be connected to a condenser fan or to any other auxiliary device. Shorting to ground or connecting to a condenser fan or any other auxiliary device may damage wiring, the compressor relay, and/or cause a malfunction. • When installing ground leads on Gen IV systems, the blower control ground and ECU ground must be connected directly to the negative battery post. • For proper system operation, the heater control valve must be connected to the ECU. 5 903062 REV H 08/12/19, PG 5 OF 26 www.vintageair.com Engine Compartment Disassembly NOTE: Before starting the installation, check the function of the vehicle (horn, lights, etc.) for proper operation, and study the instructions, illustrations, & diagrams.

To activate A/C, move the temperature lever/knob all the way to cold and then back it off to the desired vent temperature. For heat operation, move the temperature lever/knob all the way to hot and then adjust to the desired vent temperature. The blower will momentarily change speed, each time you toggle between operations, to indicate the change. NOTE: For proper control panel function, refer to control panel instructions for calibration procedure. Blower Speed This lever/knob controls blower speed, from OFF to HI. Mode Control This lever/knob controls the mode positions, from DASH to FLOOR to DEFROST, with a blend in between. Temperature Control This lever/knob controls the temperature, from HOT to COLD. NOTE: Original blower switch will not be used. Blower Speed Temperature Control Mode Control A/C Operation Blower Speed Adjust to desired speed. Mode Control Adjust to desired mode position (DASH position recommended). Temperature Control For A/C operation, adjust to coldest position to engage compressor (Adjust between HOT and COLD to reach desired temperature). Heat Operation Blower Speed Adjust to desired speed. Mode Control Adjust to desired mode position (FLOOR position recommended). Temperature Control For maximum heating, adjust to hottest position (Adjust between HOT and COLD to reach desired temperature). Defrost/De-fog Operation Blower Speed Adjust to desired speed. Temperature Control Adjust to desired temperature. Mode Control Adjust to DEFROST position for maximum defrost, or between FLOOR and DEFROST positions for a bi-level blend (Compressor is automatically engaged). 22 903062 REV H 08/12/19, PG 22 OF 26 23 903062 REV H 08/12/19, PG 23 OF 26 Symptom Compressor will not turn off (All other functions work). 3. Compressor will not turn on (All other functions work). 2. Blower stays on high speed when ignition is on or off. 1b. Blower stays on high speed when ignition is on. 1a. System is charged. System is not charged. All other functions work. No other functions work. Condition www.vintageair.com Repair or replace pot/control wiring. Replace relay. Check for faulty A/C relay. Check 2-pin connector at ECU housing. Check continuity to ground on white control head wire. Check for 5V on red control head wire. Charge system or bypass pressure switch. Replace BSC (This will require removal of evaporator from vehicle). Check to ensure that no BSC wiring is damaged or shorted to vehicle ground. The BSC operates the blower by ground side pulse width modulation switching. The positive wire to the blower will always be hot. If the “ground” side of the blower is shorted to chassis ground, the blower will run on HI. Be sure the small, 20 GA white ground wire is connected to the battery ground post. If it is, replace the ECU. Verify continuity to chassis ground with white control head wire at various points. Verify that all pins are inserted into plug. Ensure that no pins are bent or damaged in ECU. Actions Check for faulty A/C potentiometer or associated wiring. Check for disconnected or faulty thermistor. Check for faulty A/C potentiometer or associated wiring (Not applicable to 3-pot controls). System must be charged for compressor to engage. Unplug 3-wire BSC control connector from ECU. If blower stays running, BSC is either improperly wired or damaged. Unplug 3-wire BSC control connector from ECU. If blower shuts off, ECU is either improperly wired or damaged. Check for damaged ground wire (white) in control head harness. Check for damaged blower switch or potentiometer and associated wiring. Check for damaged pins or wires in control head plug. Checks Red wire at A/C pot should have approximately 5V with ignition on. White wire will have continuity to chassis ground. White/ Blue wire should vary between 0V and 5V when lever is moved up or down. Disconnected or faulty thermistor will cause compressor to be disabled. To check for proper pot function, check voltage at white/blue wire. Voltage should be between 0V and 5V, and will vary with pot lever position. Danger: Never bypass safety switch with engine running. Serious injury can result. No other part replacements should be necessary. See blower switch check procedure. Loss of ground on this wire renders control head inoperable. Notes Troubleshooting Guide 24 903062 REV H 08/12/19, PG 24 OF 26 Symptom 8. When ignition is turned on, blower momentarily comes on, then shuts off. This occurs with the blower switch in the OFF position. Erratic functions of blower, mode, temp, etc. 7. Blower turns on and off rapidly. 6. Loss of mode door function. 5. System will not turn on, or runs intermittently. 4. This is an indicator that the system has been reset. Be sure the red power wire is on the battery post, and not on a switched source. Also, if the system is pulled below 7V for even a split second, the system will reset. Run red power wire directly to battery. Repair or replace. Charge battery. Check for faulty battery or alternator. Battery voltage is less than 12V. Check for damaged switch or pot and associated wiring. Ensure all system grounds and power connections are clean and tight. Verify proper meter function by checking the condition of a known good battery. Check for positive power at heater valve green wire and blower red wire. Check for ground on control head white wire. Install capacitors on ignition coil and alternator. Ensure good ground at all points. Relocate coil and associated wiring away from ECU and ECU wiring. Check for burned or loose plug wires. Actions Check for at least 12V at circuit breaker. Check for damaged stepper motor or wiring. Check for obstructed or binding mode doors. Check for damaged mode switch or potentiometer and associated wiring. Verify battery voltage is greater than 10 volts and less than 16. Verify connections on power lead, ignition lead, and both white ground wires. Noise interference from either ignition or alternator. Checks Battery voltage is at least 12V. Partial function of mode doors. No mode change at all. Will not turn on under any conditions. Works when engine is not running; shuts off when engine is started (Typically early Gen IV, but possible on all versions). Condition www.vintageair.com System shuts off blower at 10V. Poor connections or weak battery can cause shutdown at up to 11V. Typically caused by evaporator housing installed in a bind in the vehicle. Be sure all mounting locations line up and don’t have to be forced into position. Ignition noise (radiated or conducted) will cause the system to shut down due to high voltage spikes. If this is suspected, check with a quality oscilloscope. Spikes greater than 16V will shut down the ECU. Install a radio capacitor at the positive post of the ignition coil (See radio capacitor installation bulletin). A faulty alternator or worn out battery can also result in this condition.
