Never stop learning! I've always thought that the direction through the compressor, dryer and orifice tube was in one direction. And that the reversing valve simply swapped the flow between the Condenser and Evaporator. Then I found a nice diagram here, http://www.refrigeratio...

Hi, everybody. My 1998 S10E is now charging and running, after replacment of the auxillary battery. The old battery was two years old, and its voltage, while still sufficent to power the instruments and radio, had apparently declined too far for charging. I am deeply grateful...

Stephen, I have seen DTC #274 caused by varying battery voltages (i.e. an imbalanced pack). Also, I believe that cycling the ignition is just an alternate way of clearing certain DTCs without a scan tool. If you have the Tech2, there's no need (or advantage) to cycle the ignit...

I think that that shunt is a calibrated resistor. By measuring the voltage (in millivolts, I expect) across it, the computer measures the current flowing through all 26 batteries. So, in theory, it could go anywhere in the series circuit. Same with the fuse, I imagine. --Gil O...
