But if it activated when cranking, then the AC would only be on when cranking.....

Not the grey relay, the relay I ran myself

The relay should come on when the ignition is in the on position. that way when you are cranking it turns off. then when the engine starts and your drop back to on it should then work. but yeah. totally seeing a pro. I've got an uncle who is a mechanic i'll give him a call. see if he can recommend a...

I've seen the grey relay. and with the multimeter worked out which wire on it is ON position ignition power. I tried to rewire it propperly with a relay I bought. Used signal wire that I piggybacked from the grey relay (Ignition in the ON position) -which for some reason is 12mV???? Then the usual 1...

uhhh.... I did once. because I never had before. I was wary of it in the first place but thought "ahh i can't be that bad" Never again. I remember after it thrashed the mirrors and wipers around I got out and checked if everything was ok. seemed ok. got home. went to the boot.... wtf. the ...

Rick hadn't seen it in 3 years. I bought it in Adelaide, his adelaide mate had been driving it. A bit of bog fell out were a previous owner must have badly repaired it. but, as I say it shall be fixed soon....issssh worry bout the AC first. damn weather. Cheers chris, i notice your DP is of a black ...

I think I PM'd Virtual R about the manual, havn't herd back.

I might run a new line from the battery, but with a relay running off the on switch.

Maybe I should take it to a pro.

Achem. well. There is one thing I've avoided showing in these pics, which is a large section on the drivers side that has paint missing.
But I'm hoping to save up a little money and fix that within a month or so....

Yeah I tried everything with the fusebox and surrounding wires. However I didn't with the relay because I couldn't work out which relay it was. -tho now you say it's grey I might have a go at that. If I run 12V from another source, I'll try to make sure AC is off whilst I crank. Thanks for the advic...

Right. More testing has taken place. The fault appears to be before the fusebox. which narrows it down a lot. Still I have pulled it all appart before and still not been able to work it out. however, we determened that the AC was not getting any power....or not enough. got some strange 7V readings f...

actually there isn't a holden one on it. it's in my pocket....

Oh also, for you forum regulars, I bought the car off of rick (the guy who owns the yellow show car piazza)
....as well as another 2 piazzas.....and 9 imported gemini's.....

Lol what's to cry about? Yeah it's pretty lowered, I was told that the height is still legal. I don't know specs, but the rears are king springs and the fronts look stock so I'm guessing they just cut them. The windows are also tinted to 35%, and I had that verified. Yes the seller kept the rims tha...

There have been a few around lately...
There were two different red ones on ebay.
at least one of them was an auto tho....
and the other was in pieces...

About time I posted some photos of my new pride and joy -that's it as it was when I went to look at it http://isuzupiazza.com/photobucket/Crop.png And below, the day I brought her home http://isuzupiazza.com/photobucket/IMG_20110108_143120.jpg http://isuzupiazza.com/photobucket/IMG_20110108_144356.j...

-btw. keep looking. I actively searched for about 7 months before I found my pride and joy.
