Air conditioners?

[rlrueter]

Hi
I got an 82 fc35 last fall.
It will be in the high 80s and 90s today and tomorrow.
Just tried to turn on the Air Conditioners.
All three do nothing.
I followed the general operation section in the manual. All three breakers are
on.
Is there a trick or a hidden switch or something.

Go to the drivers seat. There should be 3 switches to the left of the drivers
seat or on the over head. Those switches control the ac's or heaters depending
on which way the summer\winter switch. Winter is heat. Summer is ac's

This may be a dumb question on my part, as I only have read the last couple of your posts, but do you have the thermostats set at a low setting, or does that matter on your model?  George Burke 1977 FC31 Charlotte

Check the circuit breakers in the 120 volt house current box...CBs should be
labeled for AC/Heat. If breakers have tripped, cycle completely off and then
back on. Be sure to have electric toe kick heaters turned OFF or you may be
running heat and AC at the same time.

Shore power or generator?

Thanks

If the thermostats are replacements, they may have dead batteries.

The thermostats will operate the ac via relay switches. You can purchase a
voltmeter these days at a dollar store. Check both the low voltage and, if you
feel knowledgeable enough, the main power at the relays.

If you have a doorbell, it probably works on the same voltage as the
thermostats. Does it work?

Check for green crud around ground wires (usually green or black).

Low voltage systems will be small wires, no larger than lamp cord. Thick wires,
like on a household toaster or thicker, will be full voltage. Make sure power is
OFF before doing anything other than testing.

Tester rules: clip one side to ground, hold probe with one hand, keep other hand
behind your back, wear rubber-soled shoes.

I once had my household ac not come on. Turned out ants had nested in the relay
switch. I cleaned and dusted, lubricated, and was back in business, saving what
others may have paid about 5 grand. There are sharks out there!

Somewhere, somehow, this has to be simple. (Three compressors didn't burn up at
the same time.) Look for the unexpected, corrosion, bugs, mud, broken wires,
dead A cells, series wiring with one broken link.

If you have a decent parts place nearby, try to get the guy to show you
replacement items (relay switches, etc.) Photograph them on your digital camera.
Find and compare with what's on your bus.

Be safe, keep trying, and keep us posted.
