circuit breaker.. the ‘buttons’ are just the insulation that go onto the studs that the wires are bolted to.Quote:

I was thinking to use dielectric grease. Went to Jaycar yesterday and they didn’t know what it was. Lol.
I use to use this stuff all the time in my nerdy sub zero Vapo chilling computer days to stop condensation killing the computer.

I use a combo of the following Mark.
Lanotec and Inox MX3. Swear by it.
Not just elecy stuff that's weather prone , but everything in general. I've thrown CRC and wd40 in the bin years ago when I discovered this.

Then there’s the windscreen leak issue. Do it just silicone up the outer rubber and ignore that there is probably a rust issue? Or. Remove the windscreen and take the time to properly repair it? Which will take much longer to do.

Oh yeah I know how good that MX3 stuff is. I have it also.Quote:

Hey Mark had a read through your journey the trol has taken, well done mate! Did you sort the buzzing relay out? I had one do the same recently and it was as simple as cleaning the neg terminal earths to the body and engine. Your winch wires can be sealed after cleaning and re connecting wire liquid electrical tape like they do with marine wiring. There’s probably other products on the market but boat electronics in salt water corrodes fast so look at what they use to help with that situation.
I forgot !!!Quote:

Still got the buzzing relay mate but I have found many others with the same thing with no resolve. The buzzing stops as soon as the vehicle is running, so it’s on the back burner for now.Quote:

I may have to get his number mate. Ideally I want the screen removed, then left to me to fix it up, then get a guy back in to install a new windscreen.Quote:

Mine had been buzzing for over a year lol. Easy 5 minute job when you’re in the engine bay to buff the terminal and post, take off the body connection under the battery, buff brass tab and body with a sotchbright whizzer disc and do the same on the engine.Quote:

I had a similar buzzing issue years ago and Yendor pointed in in the right direction. Not sure if yours and &Mudski issue is the same as mine but have a look at what was causing mine. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...ighlight=RelayQuote:

I use this stuff, but not sure it is still around today.Attachment 86635Quote:

On a similar topic, if you are just after a good penetrating liquid (rusty nuts etc) try a 50/50 mix of Auto transmission fluid and acetone. Best I have come across.Quote:

Spent yesterday out out the road. Went from home to Marysville via Warburton and the Reefton spur. All black top. No dirt. Spent too many hours cleaning the old duck up.Quote:

I managed to cook the gearbox oil and ever since the thrust bearing has been noisy, but a whole lot worse now.
As far as I know, if the A/c is not turning on, its either and electrical issue, blown fuse or broken connection somewhere. Or, its out of gas. So I need to sort that out. Then theres the clutch. No easy way out of this so I will be paying someone to do this. @Alitis007. I'll be calling you soon mate.
Bugger...my AC is low on gas again now won't click on. Some green goo on the bottom of it. Hope its not oozing death.
Thank ferk its winter...lol...gonna leave mine till end of winter before I bother getting it checked.

If you intend to keep the AC in working order, its better to get the system drained and the faulty seal or compressor replaced ASAP. The tech will evacuate any air and moisture from the system, before adding new oil and refrigerant. This will ensure any seals or components won't dry out and fail.Quote:

If there is gas in the system, it's either a problem with the compressor, electrics or control module.

My problem ended up being a dirty contact in this terminal preventing the receiver/dryer from switching the system on.
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...2023/04/75.jpg
I cleaned the contacts in this plug with some electrical contact cleaner and it worked perfectly again!
Hopefully yours is an easy fix too!
Thanks mate. I will have a look at this for sure.Quote:

So having to go through all the trouble of changing out just the bearing. A whole new clutch went in. $1650 later...
The A/c compressor is shot, so I ordered that and got it to Georges workshop, then the daughter decided to write her car off, so I had to collect the Patrol early, with no new a/c installed as yet, so she can drive the Patrol around until she find a new ride.
