Lagacy GT Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 My AC was dead but got it fixed... It was a bad relay under the steering column. But now, the car is overheating. Any chance the shop forgot to reconnect something? I took it back and they couldn't figure it out. Was the car not used to it? Needed time to adjust to 110 degree heat? AC was out for about 2 weeks. Had radiator replaced about 1 month ago. Car was working fine the whole time. It seemed to settle down after a while. I guess I'll update after another day. Also, it threw a CEL and a blinking cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawlwawl06 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Check your cooling fans? Mine just crapped out on mine recently at 80k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Maybe the workshop did forget to connect something to the cooling fans. Make sure that both runs when you have the AC on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagacy GT Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 I took it back to the shop and they told me the cooling fan relay was melted together. They replaced the relay, but the ECM is not grounding coil side of relay. It is the exact problem described in recall WVB-12 but that is for manual trans. and I have an Auto. Is there anything I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagacy GT Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Also, anyone have access to TSBs on the legacy? 05 2.5GT ltd 5eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malt Beverage Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 What are you looking for? I checked TSB's and not much A/C wise that would have to do with your problem. There is a TSB on fan relay two, but looks like it can short the ecm fan control and the fan stays on all the time when the motor is running (not much cause for overheat though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagacy GT Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 oh hm. mine doesn't come on. I guess it's a diff prob. But still related to the fan relay and ECM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1anatic Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I had the same problem - AC stopped working a few times then car overheated - then it returned to normal. Did you consider the thermostat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
