Do any of you know what voltage I should have at the compressor with the a/c on?
The a/c on the '01 Beetle I picked up a few weeks ago hasn't worked since we got it. I had our mechanic test it & it has a full charge, so I've been trying to isolate the problem.
Based onthis link it seems one of the 30-amp fuses above the battery, or its socket, was the likely problem. However I confirmed I've got 13v in/out of each.
So next I checked the plug on the compressor. What I'm finding is a constant 8.5v - across both terminals, or from hot to chassis ground - whether the a/c is on or off.
Any other suggestions?
