Position the cut inner
tube (1) on the
bearing assembly (2).
That shortcut shorts out the control box computer. When that happens, you’ll
stop getting air conditioning in your Caiman. At 9,000 bucks a pop for a burned-out
control box, that’s some serious greenbacks!
So follow WP 10 in TM 9-2355-107-10 when you power down the vehicle’s air
conditioning blower fans. Turn off the vehicle and then turn off the main battery
disconnect switch outside the vehicle, next to the batteries. Then, and only then,
disconnect the connector cable that leads into the air conditioner’s control box.
A better way is coming.
A new disconnect switch that shuts down the blower
from the driver’s seat is in the works. We’ll let you know when it becomes available.
