Howdy,

My A/C compressor just siezed on my HJ61 Import Sahara and I was wondering what the go is with finding a replacement seeing as the Imports run 24V electrics? Can off-the-shelf comps run off 24V?

Any input appreciated.

Cheers.

Are you sure all the electrics are 24volt? I thought it was just the starting circuit.

Just get a new compressor to suit, and change the coil from your old compressor to the new one. Pretty easy to do.

would i be better off getting the compressor rebuilt or forking over the $$$ for a new one and changing the coil?

trying to get this sorted before summer as i'm going north and did the trip last year without a/c in a daihatsu van. :shock:

Cheers

probably get the original one rebuilt if you have a good compressor place over ther. If not, try this place:
