I had the dreaded hot blowing ac so i did all my research and saw the countless threads on DCCV and the circuit board and all of that so I was not happy, and was delaying the inevitable, until yesterday.
Going to be 3 plus days of 90 so I had to hunker down to figure it out.

Well...the good news is that this took 10 minutes to fix.

I figured why not just look for all of the relays, I might get lucky.

What do you know, , I looked up the fuse diagrams and found the 20 A microfuse for the ac blower and pulled it and swapped it for the same fuse that runs the fog lights....bam...perfect ice cold ac.

Not often with this car do we get that kind of break.

of course now i need to find where to get these relays..cant find any resource online..so maybe the ***********

 

Er.... you say fuse but you also say relay. Which do you mean?

 

true..its actually an ISO 20A microrelay. 2010 xr83 14B192-BA. In the engine compartment left side black box, there are 5-6 of the exact same relay so thats why it was easy to swap for test

 

Thanks. Worth knowing!

 

That relay says ford on it right? Little thin black ones. Walk into any ford dealer with it in hand and it's about 15.00. I had to swap one for my X-type cause the horn went dead.

Thanks for posting this. Maybe a few more of us S-Type owners will get this lucky if our A/C goes out this summer....

 

NO...these have the Jaguar leaper on the relay, and they are yellow. There are 8 exactly the same 1" by 1/2 inch....and 6 square ones 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 . 25 bucks at jag dealership

 

Subscribing for future reference. Thanks.
