AC not blowing air
Prior to stop working the air blowed very weak (seems like unchange even with increasing speed fan). I replaced the microfilter, capacitor (tantalum 1 micro Farat 35V) in the digital clinmate control control unit as ppl suggested and still no luck. the AC seemed to work (light up and compressor engaged) but no air coming out. Thanks for any suggestion.

Thanks for replying. I am looking into the final stage unit now. Glad that you confirm that with me. I was checking ************ and they gave me the resistor for E39 (PN 64 11 6 923 204) and say that this should work for E36 as well. Is it correct? I am trying to get part number 64.11.6.929.540 but Pelican dont have it in stock. Any idea if E39 resistor would work? Thanks

I was able to get one locally for $120 and let me tell the AC now blows air like it's never been able to blow before. Thanks guys for helping me.

Glad it worked out. I'm surprised you replaced the capacitor before the final stage resistor. They are usually both mentioned in many of the same posts.

My mind was on one track at the time thinking all about cap, plus it's cheaper to try out the cap than the non-refundable final stage unit. Another positive side, I learned how to solder circuit board now
 . Thanks a bunch
