In descending order of which ones I'm likely to do first/am able to do immediately. I really have to fix the A/C compressor sooner than later though because it's already 85F here by noon

explain pls

>>17282747
I honestly have no idea how A/C compressors work to begin with but apparently some newer ones operate with a solenoid switch instead of a clutch. Occasionally the solenoid gets dirty and it won't open/close

Meh.
>>
>>17282887
Ok, so when you shut your car off, there's almost no current being drawn from the battery right? A parasitic draw is an excessive amount of current that the car is using when it's off. Y
This drains the battery. To troubleshoot it, you hook an ammeter to the battery between the negative terminal and the negative lead, and then start pulling fuses to see the problem area. It's not a fun process.

>negative terminal and the negative lead,
I have a loop ammeter that goes around battery positive lead.

Did this recently right after big alarm install and it read 3.3a which is fuck all huge (should be like 0.03) pulled every fucking fuse under the hood with no effect (pull one put it back) above hundredths of an amp.

We're like wtf, and then my buddy goes, um, how do you zero this meter?

The zero switch short press toggles between zeroed and raw, long press actually zeros the meter. So of courses my buddy had toggles it off zeroing and the 3.3 was a meter artifact!

tl;dr: zero you are fucking meter

The only really hard part was finding the door lock wires under the kick panel.

Basically I researched wire colors for days, started with the ignition harness, sorted and wired about 20 hair fine wires, ended with the door locks, then plugged the unit in, then had to redo the ignition harness (the only "easy" part) FOUR fucking times.

I wound up having to use a FRM01 to establish a longer ground connection on the chip eliminator and one of the abandoned ignition wires to fire it.

Then I had to cram all that shit back into a Japanese dash.

Five solid vacation days after taking apart and ID ing wires. Would not do again.
