well i got fed up of waiting and ended up driving down there on thursday to pick it up, now the truck runs good. but man that was a long *** drive almost 6 hours round trip during rush hour traffic.

thanks for the help joe, i was reading your post on the ssr forums and i was seeing you could fuse the ac press switch and it should stop the magnavolt from blowing diodes?can you elaborate?

What we have been doing is filling the A/C Pressure Switch with DieElectric Grease so the water doesn't lay in the switch head and short the 5 volt reference signal.

unplug put some grease in the connector plug back in. i think i'm gunna do that to mine i was walking to my truck the other day and i could hear a clicking under the hood and once i popped the hood i felt the switch and that was where the clicking was coming from. i don't have anything close to chase's setup but i'll give the grease a shot.

I would have to look under your hood to see where they place it in the trucks. On the SSR and a few others it is right below the belt tensioner in the aluminum A/C line off the pump.

You will notice that the switch is put so that it acts like a cup and will hold water if it gets any on it. This is why the DieElectric Grease helps.
