Title: Re-Wiring the The Compresor Box
Post by: Slapshot42 on June 02, 2013, 02:12:45 pm
I have to admit I'm lousy when it comes to looking and understanding wiring diagrams.

I'm trying to reremember how the wires go back in the start and overload relay. I have the condenser motor and 2 prong plug to wire back in.  I purchased to 14 gauge ring terminals that I will crimp on the new wires.  

I know the top is the overload and the bottom is the relay. 

Anybody help me out?

Jared

I looked at my 81/ D Vendo and it appeared to me the same type of relay.  It look like the wiring was as follows:

Condensor Motor ( 2 wires)

1 wire going to the top ( Overload)
1 wire going to the bottom ( Relay )

2 Prong Plug ( 2 wires)

1 wire going to the the top ( Overload)
1 wire going to the bottom (  Relay)

It looks good from here... :biggrin:                  Should go like this...

Although the OEM had the fan-motor wired from the compressors terminals, if you are using an after-market wiring harness it my be easier to wire it in from there (across the socket where the compressors pig-tail plugs into) maybe. up to you.

So if follow the same as my 81/ D it should work?:
