Hope this helps you.

1- check to make certain you have a charged system
2- if you do indeed have a charged system find out if it is FULLY charged, if the system is low enough the compressor will not kick in
3- if you have a good charge check to see that you have voltage going into the clutch on the compressor when you engage the switch
4- if you have NO voltage at the compressor wire, check for voltage at the switch.If you have voltage at the switch and not the compressor there is a break inbetween.
5- Give up and find a wiring schematic to see what relays may be involved
6- get really pissed
7- get REALLY pissed (the English version)
8- take it to an A.C. repair shop

Good luck

And there is your schematic.

Now get PISSED

Actually, Scotty... the VPC and the DPD systems used in the 914s don't have a low pressure cutoff switch. The compressor will come on even if the system has an open hose.



I can help you fix the AC. I am in Fort Worth.. which is not too far from OK.

i used to go to FW when i was younger. my mom grew up in waco, i think.

i wont ask you to go out of your way. but if you ever are in the area...

gimme a call. ill PM you my cell and stuff.

hmm also. on those diagrams... the one yousaid was DPD has "VPC" written on it...?

ah triple post....


btw. how do i know which i have?


74 2.0 914-4

The simplest way is to look in the front trunk. The VPC will have a square metal box for the condenser, the DPD will have a plastic cone shaped top to the condenser.


Also, the DPD unit has a circular badge in the middle of it with "DPD" in the center.

Hey Clay,

Just as a note, If y'all are ever up here, I've got a spare bedroom that's open and I'd give preferential garage space to prettier cars than mine. (If necessary, but always available)

Say, how long until this white stuff goes away and I don't have to worry about salt... I wanna drive my 914 again. Feel bad enough looking at my Monte with it covered in salt...

(Sorry for the hijack)

I assume Yukon, Ok. is close to OKC?


It could be a weekend trip, after the weather clears!

Yep, just a few minute jaunt from I44. Not positive of the timeframe I35, but I'd guess less than 30 minutes. (It's about 10 miles west on I-40 from I-44)

Thankfully the weather wasn't near as bad this weekend as some were saying it would be. Still can't get over the fact that Albertsons sold generators last weekend and has a waiting list...

10th street literally is half yukon half OKC.


heres a map.

oh and is this what you were talking about?


its a big metal box. donno wtf up with the carpet. came from the PO.Click to view attachmentClick to view attachment

That is definitely a VPC system. I would look into replacing all the hoses and the compressor with a new, rotary style one. It will eat less HP if you do.

sources? haha. sorry im being so helpless i just woke up and its 11 pm and i was sleeping on the couch? i guess zelda on the wii got the best of me.
