DESCRIPTION
If the A/C compressor is engaged all the time -- even when the A/C and blower switches are OFF -- the ground circuit in the E.G.I. control unit may have
been damaged by a surge current from the magnetic clutch or the cooling fan motor.
Continuous A/C compressor operation may cause evaporator freeze-up. Depending on the weather, it might take 30-60 minutes to freeze-up.
Although the surge current caused the E.C.U. damage, it has been found that the root of the cause is a faulty transistor installed in some control units.
