REPAIR PROCEDURE:

If the above complaints occur, use the following procedures:

1. Remove air intake connector.

2. Remove radiator grille.

3. Remove upper radiator support.

4. Locate wiring harness for the A/C compressor (this harness runs down along the passenger side of the radiator support just next to the radiator).

5. Remove the three wiring harness clamps.

6. Remove the harness protective covering.

7. Disconnect the A/C compressor connector.
