Electronic climate control 1990

[jwn4854]

Hi, according to my owners manual, if one of the lights associated with the buttons on the panel is flashing, then there is a problem with the climate control and the suggestion is that the refrigerant is low. does this sound right? if i need refrigerant, what is the best way to go? thanks joe btw, my air does not seem to be working, so i would take it that the refrig is low. then there is a reset using the fuse panel after the refrig is ok.

hi, i tryed to view the codes and it did nothing. there is no display. when i turn on the ignition or start the car, the light above off flashes for a few minutes. i then push the up and down fan at the same time for 5 sec and nothing happens. am i doing something wrong?

try pushing both fan switchs ..up and down together with key on then push auto button that will give codes let me know if you get anything and i`ll lopok up codes Bill

just hold them till 00 starts blinking then you can scroll through the codes.

i have the key on and the off button flashes, i waited for it to stop and hold the fan buttons down but there is no 00 reading at all. i did try the auto button too.

okay so key is on. the off light flashes. i pushed and hold the up down fan and there is no reading at all. the battery and service engine words are the only ones in the display. am i doing it right?

Are you holding down the "auto fan" button? or the auto button next to the "off" button on the lower display?????

 

[jwn4854]

hi, i think that i tryed both. can u tell me exactly what to do such as the key, timing, and etc. so far, all i have done has not worked. i think that i pushed the fan buttons at the same time for 5 sec and then pushed the auto(both the fan and the other) i did it with the car running and with the ignition on only. the off button was flashing all of the time. i assume that when it flashes, it is sending codes. thanks

it was a false reading on the diag. i had to reset by pulling the fuses that the book shows. said low refrig
