Title: Thermostat Post by: cola fan on April 29, 2012, 09:56:39 am Hi Anybody... I have a Cavalier cs 64-c that has sat for a long while. I am going thru motor and wiring to cooling unit. I am trying to figure out wiring to thermostat. There are two wires coming from thermostat and i have one tied to power the other ?. I dont know where to tie the second wire and am afraid to touch it to anything cause i can short it out or something. I think it may go to cooling fan but not sure. Sad thing is i have downloaded wiring diagram and cant make heads or tails of it..I would appreciate some input and i am sure i will have many more questions as this project has officially begun...Thanks

Title: Re: Thermostat Post by: johnieG on April 29, 2012, 11:09:03 am just think of it as a temperature controlled light-switch, it will have one hot wire from the line going into it, & the other wire will go to the compressor to turn it on , the compressor will also have the line return (neutral) to complete the circuit, remember that switches switch the hot side of the load.
Title: Re: Thermostat Post by: cola fan on April 29, 2012, 09:57:14 pm Thanks Guys!!!!..I think i got it as long as the fan in the cooler (Evaporator Fan) if thats right..runs continuous...The compressor will shut off but i have yet to hear fan in the cooler quit. If these steps are correct i am on to wiring up door wires, coke light at very top, coin amount light which is the size of a night light bulb and the coin mech which i think is a vendo..When i temped em in i got the big coke light working but couldnt get the coin amount light to work even after a new bulb also the coin mech hums pretty good and gets pretty warm to the touch when allowed to run awhile...This is the reason i havent hooked it yet. Now that the wires are correct on compressor i will try it again. Oh and you will be hearing from me again shortly...Thanks a lot and i do appreciate your genius...
