Auto climate, Blower Hi Relay

As the instructions from Craig Brace says, I can reuse the Blower Hi Relay behind the passenger kick panel, but there is no such relay there in my car (that had manual a/c)...

Yo man, Craig B is old news. Dude hopped in his Prelude and ditched the scene. You probably shouldn't rely on that write for the conversion. Mostly because the wiring information is wrong in respects to the mode door motor, and the fact that it's much more logical simply to go off of the wiring diagrams.

In regard to your no relay situation, are you looking in the RH kick panel like the writeup says? If you have a RHD Maxima, you should be looking on the LH side for that relay. I don't see why the relay would be non-existant if you have manual climate control and A/C. Maybe the relay is in a different location on euro models.

I have a LHD no relay in there, and no air mix door motor (as his writeup said).
Maybe there are differences between EU & US models?

Anyway, it works without that relay connected as I now have finished connecting it.

The mix motor is part of the auto climate system. You need to replace the max cold unit that is there with the mix motor. I think you have an incomplete conversion kit, well I know you did considering you had to buy a fresh air lever and ambient sensor.

I have the mix motor, what confused me was that CB guide said there should be one there already.

I got it installed and working now

Awesome. Did you find the relay?

No, and the FSM shows no Blower Hi Relay in the MCC schematics.
I guess CB must have got this one wrong?

My ACC works perfect without it so.

.
wait what...Craig came over and we did the conversion on my car (the one I recently got back) back when he did the write up.

It works fine or so it seems. What exactly is wrong with the wiring? I am pretty sure we used the FSM when we did the wiring.

I wish I could see his old write up and then I could compare that and the fsm but unfortunately I cant.

I sure do not want to go through my dash and look at the wiring.

I think it's just a mistake in the write up, I bet you guys did it right if you used the wiring diagrams. Using the diagrams is actually how I noticed it. The wire colors for the mode door motor are all (except for one iirc) off by one pin in the write up. For example it says "connect x color from auto amp to y color on mode door connector" only 'x color' should actually be connected to the wire next to "y color".

I'll try to find the printouts I made when I did mine, I looked the other day but couldn't find them. They're somewhere though.
