the diode is on the connector.

just thought of something. i still have some of the controllers in my tool box from these.

there is a black box behind the glove box,. drop the glove box down and the should be a black box about 3 inches square that was a very common failure for the ac compressor. thats where the power comes from for the compressor

check the diagram below

Roy, When i look at the location of the controller i may be biteing off more than i can chew. Is it removed from the compartment front or taking the dash apart? Thanks, Joe I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
