Default New Day New Problem

When the tow truck picked up my 90 for the clutch issue I noticed the a/c wasn't working. Dead - no info on the display - nothing. My battery went down when I was trying to get it out of the garage. Would a low battery condition cause this or am I really hosed?

not sure if the battery toasts it or not but if you get a good bat in her just press the up ,down fans switches at the same time for 10 secs. then pres the center button and the trouble codes will pop up if you have a fsm it will tell what the codes are .

There was a 20A fuse where there should have been a 15A for the a/c. When a 15A is put in it blows. Anyone have an idea where to start with this? The car's at Corvettes of Dallas, who replaced the slave and clutch. BTW, they charged the battery and said it starts fine, but when they went to use the a/c, it was DOA.

Anything jammed in your cigarette lighter? This will trip it.

Talked to Jeff at C of D and he said the tech was working form memory when they put in the 15A. I would think that if a 20A held for the last year, there's no issue with the a/c. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo, time to pick up the Z!

Suggestion :
Just take the car down to Corey , he is one of the "true" ZR1 specialist's. And let him go through the car.

Well, I put a new 15A fuse in the CTSY position and have had no more trouble. Might be an intermittent problem, or maybe it only happens when the battery gets low. Don't know, but for now I guess it's fixed - or not.
