Question QUESTION: My query is regarding the air-condition compressor in my car, which will not engage unless I put the blower to the maximum speed. Thereafter, the compressor will continue to function even though I lower the bower speed. I have changed the blower switch but the problem persists. I have asked around and the answer given to me was either the compressor or the thermostat needed attention. If it is the thermostat, how do I get excess to it and check whether it is faulty?

QUESTION: It is a Daihatsu Rocky 1998 cc Petrol 4WD - 1984 model.
Answer In the states we do not have too many Diahatsu. On some Japanese cars the resistor controls the blower and the compressor. Not sure but I would check to make sure no one has tampered with the electrical. The thermostat should be at the evaporator case. When you find it start the car and check for a power on the thermostat if it is good the power should go in and come out the other end.
