A/C Temp Sensor Placement
I have my evaporator out on my 86 Carrera. After carefully pulling the temp sensor wire out so as not to break it I now have what looks like a half collapsed spring. In short it looks like it was shoved in the box.
How is the sensor supposed to be installed? All the maintenance manuals that I have to not tell you the proper placement of the sensor in relation to the evaporator. Is it supposed to go down trhough the evaporator itself into the air intake itself or is it supposed to lay across the top of the evaporator?
By the way I found that all of the closed cell foam seals for the two intakes and the around the evaporater itself had deteriorated away.
Explains why I was not getting the airflow out of the vents as I should.
Thanks

Not a wire.......
A capillary tube.
Contains a liquid with a high volume expansion coefficient with temperature. The more of it exposed to the evaporator surface, nearby, the quicker the compressor will shut down, short cycle, when liquid refrigerant reaches the evaporator.
