63 Avanti with A/c

[Guest Larry Delazzer]

Me again, where do they hide the circuit breaker/fuse for the a/c compressor on a 1963 Avanti.

Can find nothing in the owners manual nor the workshop manual, thanks.

It's an in line fuse holder from the ignition switch, to the controls.

Thanks much, Larry

Hey Brad, another quickie - what's the fuse supposed to be rated at. Thanks, Larry

[brad]

I believe it's an SFE 15 fuse......15 amps

Thanks Brad. Another question, is there supposed to be a relay between the switch and the compressor. Sure wish I

could find an electrical diagram for the A/C system for the 63 Avanti it would help immensely.

No relay, the power wire goes to the variable resistor/fan speed switch. there are several terminals. One is power to the switch, the other is just a off/on switch to the temperature switch [from that it goes to the compressor clutch] the third terminal is the variable part to the evaporator motor.

Thanks Brad, a great help, I want this baby blowing cold by International meet time in St. Louis this August.
