Hey! I don't mind either, I was just curious if these exist on something like digikey, mouser, delcity etc. I did not find them on delcity. I have not checked digikey or mouser yet.

Does anyone know where I can find replacement OEM-style relay blocks with the plastic tabs on the side / bottom? Three of mine are toast. Thanks!

Update 6/16 11:45pm: -Relay works -A/C relay wiring is correct, harness is not damaged other than cur out diode -Diode added from failed ionization fire alarm. -AC compressor has a rebuild tag on it with a "converted to 134a" in ~2003. -My low pressure valve was closed after I filled it on friday. I just added more refrigerant and the fan kicked on and the clutch engaged properly, but sparked near the clutch, so I shut the AC off. I believe I need some more spacing on the clutch plate. I measured it within service manual tolerance, but it's a complicated area to measure with a feeler gauge since there is a shoulder of a pulley involved. Going to increase spacing and try again. Previous tested: -A/C fan kicked in -A/C req signal shows on the REM module -A/C low pressure switch works Backup plan: Bring it to a service place to look for leak sources or use my Flir meter. Worst case: Replace the condenser, AC lines, Expansion Valve, O-rings, fill system. Don't plan to replace the evaporator core and rip apart the entire dash. Thanks!

Edit: the AC clutch was indeed wired correct. I manually checked the wiring again. The fun part is going to be finding a diode locally that I can put in parallel to the A/C clutch. Here's a diagram that shows the inline diode for the ac clutch: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/ac-help-i-am-electrically-beyond-stupid-229318/

Looking through the REM manual it shows A/C request and A/C on/off. Mine shows A/C request but the clutch never engages and obviously no cold air :/

Does anyone have a photo of how their AC clutch it wired? Previous owner clipped off the entire area. I have no ac clutch diode or connector. The clutch will not engage with the AC So far: -ac system officially charged and held when I opened the valve. -A/C fan kicked in -A/C req signal shows on the REM module I have tested my clutch externally with a 12v psu and the clutch does indeed work. for some reason it's not being tripped. If anyone has a photo that would be awesome.

HELL YEAH. Well deserved @GonzoTheGreat One excellent 6000mi series

I have this exact same issue right now. These indented side style clips fit incredibly sloppy in my female clips. They have bounced out which is not cool. I believe they fit in the slightly different AMC branded ones in the last photo. I'm in the process of installing different belts.

Nice! I grabbed a similar kit from Precision seals. I just need to commit to tearing apart both my doors to finish the job

I think @jdog is right. It's a technique where you place tack welds spaciously over the cutout region between the patch and the larger metal. You eventually fill the interface between the two materials, but you keep adding tack welds as far apart as possible in effort to even out the heat generated, prevent warping and lower the chances of punching through. This method is usually done on thin metals. It is tricky to get right.

Woah, that's properly cool.

Wow. It needs a new battery and the seller didn't, you know, just buy a new one? That's not a big expense when asking +17k...

Agree with Pete. If I had a 91 and 92, I'd polish em every month I wonder if the 91 and 92 years had duct-tape splices in the engine wiring harness like the '88...

Ooof. That's a lot of work. Hopefully there's still usable parts in there. Excellent work

AWW YEAHHHH

Wow. That is super neat!

Thanks! Legend has it a swift stroll by 844 East Charleston Road in Palo Alto will clear your mind

Nice! I just finished harvesting and drying some herbs from the garden. Fresh oregano makes home-made pizzas pop. Well worth it. Otherwise, I just finished documenting the repair of an oscilloscope. The internal memory developed corruption so I re-flashed the firmware and replaced a failed encoder while I was there. Works again! https://salvagedcircuitry.com/2000a-nand-recovery.html

One should be the temperature gauge for the radiator.

Knowing AMC, those spare tire hold down wings from @fiatslug87 above photo look similar to the 1960s / 70s GM Spare Tire Hold Down Wing Nuts. Not an exact match, but close https://www.ebay.com/itm/176314674585

I've been waiting to find one of these setups so I can CAD it up and clone it. The geometry looks pretty straight forward. It would be nice to have additional level of protection on that lil stainless steel rope wire crimp that holds the tire to the ratcheting mechanism.

Very Cool! Thanks for the photo I was guessing since I never saw the stamped steel valve cover before.

This is motivation to finally weld mine up!

Huh. I've never seen the inside of the HO version. It looks like some kind of sheet metal baffle insert that lines the entire top. Curious, are those plastic screw inserts along the perimeter of the HO valve cover? The HO one should weigh less if you are into weight reduction. I had to manually file my renix valve cover with a metal file and wet stone because the aluminum casting left a very poor edge quality from factory. The valve cover left a substantial indent in the nice $40 felpro reusable gasket. I had to grab another. I am curious too what other folks have to say!

From the REM manual, it states So I'd have to short the pressure switch worst case if nothing else works after all my tests. If I do this with the vehicle running and AC set on, it should kick on on the clutch and start the compressor temporarily. If it does not, the switch can be toast. I think you're right on the money about the fill port. The gauge on the A/C fill can showed "filled" within 3 seconds of plugging it in and pressing the trigger. Refilling A/c is not that quick. I'll try opening the valve first then filling it again. If it fills, then I'll try the A/C again. If it does not blow any cold air, I'll try jumping the pressure switch. I have a spare pressure switch and some O-rings on order. The A/C parts I ordered: - Four Seasons 38901 Expansion Valve - Four Seasons 35758 Low Cut-Out Pressure Switch Thanks
