Hey all,

Something else I was considering looking into:

Is it possible to (relatively easily) replace the standard manual A/C stuff (like the one in a TH solara) with a climate control unit?

I bet it's not, just thought I'd ask the question - my bro has a TJ VR-X MY02 that has climate control and I'm jealous. lol

Simple answer Is NO

its cheaper and easier to buy a car with it already in

Yeah, that's what i figured. :D

Oh well, one can dream (and drool), can't one :)

one can. lol

as far as i know to do this

u need

the control unit, and wired and thermometres and other bits and peices.

way to difficult

And you need the AC compressor too.. they run a speed sensoror something.. Mitsubishi priced a standard one at $620 staff price and a speed sensor one at $1200.. Crazy. You just wouldnt do it..:)

Its probably Cheaper to buy a 88 TN Elante i had one i got for 4k CLIMATE CONTROL goodness oh it was the best magna i ever had, just beats the TJ ;)

Differences are...
Power transistor driven by PWM rather than resistor pack (connector B46) for blower speed control.
A/C ECU (connector B13) - (the fancy front panel)
Sunlight Sensor (connector B12 - C10)
Air inlet selection damper Motor (B13 - B02)
Fin Thermo Sensor (B06) - assume for evaporator
Water Temp Sensor (B09) - assume for heater
Outside Temp Sensor (A37)
Airmix Damper Motor/Potentiometer (B08)
Mode Selector Damper Motor/Potentiomenter (B65)

Compressor is no different...

I could work out all of the differences, but it seems a lot of work to convert. At the very least you would need a wreck to do this, along with the service manual so you grab everything - I believe that there are a few non-trivial things like the temp sensors which are buried inside the evaporator - erk.

In a TJ2 it is.. Ive just had the fun of having to replace mine..:P
