Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has done this before and if it is even possible to do this if you have all the parts for it???????????

do a search a topic has been done about this here is one of them

i'll be waiting for madmagna to get his one up and running first :)

TJ2 already had climate control? Do you mean TJ MY02?

Execs didn't have it, and only some advances that I've seen, must've been an option or something (my MY02 advance has it, seen a 03 TJ2 advance and it didn't).

Yes, once I have sussed it out will be making a lit that will be pretty much plug and play

a lit?

and if you were going to make a "plug n play" climate control, would be be willing to make me one too? of course ill pay ya! haha

im guessing he ment kit
as in a plug and play kit

ahh yes! i didnt think kit hahahah


but yeah as i said before i would be willing to pay you (madmagna) for one of these 'kits'

im also looking into this mod, would be keen on a kit if it happens. from what i have found out it wouldn't be that hard just very time consuming and finding all the parts i need may be tricky

This is something I've been wanting to do as well Ill have the TJ2 AWD and no climate control, l recently got wiring diagrams for the conversion. Also l hope to have an answer for you too ! Maybe even could consult with madmagna to get a plug and play kit for all those that would like to upgrade their A/C

this is sounding better and better!!! so where do i sign? haha

I just got the wiring diagrams out so l don't make a fool of myself, and from what l can see, from the the only difference electrically is the climate ECU. So can any one tell me if there is a difference in the control of the vents ? Are they still manually controlled or do they have eclectic servo's controlling them ?

AFAIK the vents are all the same.. the one thing that the climate does is like control the temp (eg changing it from how to cold air etc)

Hmm, doing some more looking into the diagram and l found that the vents are electronically controlled. So, what l need to know is, what part of the vents have the controller motors attached to them ? This will tell me if we need to get the complete ducting pipes or just the motors. Any help from some one that has happened to pull apart a dash recently and knows what there looking for would greatly appreciated !

hmm thats really interesting.... i honestly would have thought that the vents are just manually controlled...



is there any chance you can put the diagram up here?

I would love too ! Just don't know how to, so explain it slooooooowlllllllyyyyyy, and l mite just get it

There's 3 servo units fitted.
The first one is on the air inlet side of the fan - used for recirc mode
The second unit is located above the ECU - not sure if it does hot/cold/air flow direction or all 3
The third unit is located adjacent to the diagnostics plug & controls flow direction

The set up in a TL/TW sees the fan unit sitting directly under the body panels air inlet point as opposed to a Nov 02 TJ executive where the fan is located further towards the centre of the glovebox.

Wow that's the detail I'm looking for thanks! Sounds like a big job ! Great ! Bring it on ! I think tomorrow it's time to ring a wrecker and get prices on it all !

The climate control is a very basic set up. In short the servo's do what your cables which are attached to your control knobs do.

You have temp sensors and the rest is done through the control unit. The servo above the ECU is on the bottom of the hearter box, it does the same thing as the temp control cable, it either directs air over the heater core or around it for cooler air.

The difference is that the control unit keeps a more constant temp etc over the manual system

What I am looking to do is set up the system to "tap" into the standard harness without having to cut into it at all.

Will be a few weeks off but once done will be initially for the TE - TH series and then once done will look at the difference in the TJ series

Cool, good luck with it all mate.......

Cheers.

well Madmagna, you can put me down for this!, of course when you are done. but once this is done i will be buying this "kit" no matter what hahah so madmagna dont forget hahaha

hey did you get any prices mate!, i really keen to find this out

put me down for a kit too :P

Ok, all the bits arrived today, will start on the harness in the next few days when I get a chance

ahhh!!! yay! and yes still can i please put my name down for one mate! kit + all parts

THanks

I'm down for one too, I have to pull my dash out to replace the harness for CC anyways.

Mal, when we pull my dash out for the Cluster upgrade id like to do this climate conversion as well, im guesing you bought this all off christian? So you could have a TJ to play around with as well
