Any advice on what step can I make on my own? I have no more where to take the car. :(
This period I didn't drive the car, but tonight I will make the same inspection again.
Outside temperature was 16°C (if that matters something). My small dash bulb is wired to the power source of R3 that is a clutch power relay. It is normally closed, so when energized it opens the contact.
Ignition on and bulb lights, push A/C button and bulb shuts off, the compressor runs.
Tested on both options (temperature set to hot - 25°C and temperature set to Lo), when stay in place on idle, the bulb stays off and clutch is energized all the time, start drive, it cycles on every 9-10 seconds.
Also made a test in place on idle, pressing the gas pedal, clutch shuts off after 2-3sec.
Ran the car in free motion (idle) on down warded street, clutch stay on.
Ran again on down warded street in gear (2-3) without gas, clutch still on. Pressing gas, start cycling.
In a moment of time, I got some conclusion on my mind maybe there is some reason in WOT circuit, but as I can search, there is no WOT relay on diagrams (thought it could be the same relay with both functions but different sources of control).
In the attachment there is a diagram picture of the power distribution box.
Please stay with me just a little more time in these hard moments for me, I don't have anyone to consult. It is not about the perfection of this scrap of a car, but about solving something so simple that it looks like a big mystery to our electricians and mechanics.
Thanks in advance and best regards from North Macedonia!
