What does this small computer thing do?
« on: August 23, 2006, 01:19:53 PM »
It sits in the corner of the dash, goes up in smoke when under water, and the vehicle seems to run fine without it.  Anyone here know what it does?

I have a similar one in my SJ that the mainboard is broken on, and I never did look up what it is used for...

You can see where it plugs in.  I take it normal Sammy's don't have this little grey box tucked underneath the glovebox?

Only if they had AC on them, at some point.

I'm pretty sure that is an AC component.

I'm 99% sure it is part of the AC.

I know it isn't a WDM.

Maybe the wiring harness has been changed out at some point.  You don't have one of the following....the double crank pulley, an AC switch in the dash, any AC brackets on the engine, any AC components under the dash, AC condenser, AC condenser fan, AC lines under the hood, AC evaporator, etc?

A quick scan of a Sammy wiring diagram indicates that it is most likely to be an AC controller.

It is not a buzzer.  A buzzer is a small black box, about 2"x1"x1", and it actually says buzzer on it.  IIRC, there is a buzzer over in that area.  There is also a buzzer on the back of the instrument cluster.

Yea, the new owner looked it up.  Now I'm wondering what the chipset in the corner of my SJ-410 is though...

Time to find the wiring diagram I guess.  :D
