I'm trying to find a compressor wiring harness (DAC1408) for an XJ6 Series 3 (1984) 4.2 liter. I've tried Welsh enterprises, Britishwiring.com, Ebay, EverydayXJ and found nothing. A used part in good condition would be great. Does anyone know if there's a way to fabricate this part? Any help would be awesome.

 

Welcome to the forum daytonaxj6,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

Most suppliers list this part as NLA (No Longer Available). If you want to extend your search to other countries:

I'm a bit surprised that EverydayXJ.com doesn't have this part! There must be a great need for it!

Anyway, I'll look for you over in our Xj6 section where Graham has directed you.

Welcome to the forum.

 

Fabricating a functional equivalent would be easy. Duplicating the original exactly would be more difficult. Finding the connector for the 3-prong thermal fuse might be a problem

Or maybe not....

And here's the compressor connector

GM A6 AC Compressor Washer Fluid Repair Pigtail - The Repair Connector Store

Now you'll just need to find the pin connector and boot for the superheat switch at the rear of the compressor

Welcome,

Looks like Doug has you sorted.

 

I found a used one at Jagbits. Never found a new one. Seems like someone should make this part, since the AC will not run otherwise. I bought an AC upgrade kit for $1000. Even the owner didn't know where to get the AC compressor wiring harness.

 

Lack of demand, no doubt.

It's a very simple harness. Unless absolute factory correctness is desired, the fastest, easiest fix is to simply make a new one yourself or repair the old one...which I suspect most people do.

Cheers
DD

 

Not even the supplier in Germany I put in post #2?
