Just bought my Rocky (F200 Feroza) 1992. Have discovered that the Air Con is not working, the clutch is not engaging. Is there anywhere that details the troubleshooting steps involved? I've hunted through all the manuals I've downloaded (thanks again...) Has anyone been through this process and can offer me some pointers? I'm a qualified Elec. Engineer but tracing this wiring is a bloody nightmare!
For a start, pull the connector on the wire that goes to the compressor clutch, and connect it directly to + on the battery, to see if the clutch works. Or else, try above.

The Feroza compressor has a 4 wire (IIRC) plug- two wires generate an AC signal that appears to be used by the electronic brain to let it know the compressor is turning. The control module is mounted above the glovebox.
Check all the basics first eg. are all the A/C relays working and is power getting to the clutch? Check the pressure switches too. Check the fuses under the driver's side of the dash as well. IIRC the A/C has it's own separate bank of fuses.
