The fuse mentioned in this thread is related to a MondialQV not a t. This fuse seems to have been included on the F models in the mid-80s, but was eliminated from the system by the late-80's. My guess would be that there is no such fuse present on a Mondial t (but I haven't checked the user-unfriendly copy of the on-line Mondial t schematic).
Hi guys, so i worked out that fuse was in the speed switch itself. i tested it and its fine. ill give you quick run down what has happed. I got new transistor changed it and the system started to work correctly. but the "A/C ON" switch was a bit dicky and would not work every time. i would have to turn the a/c on/off a few times then the low fan speeds would work. i had a spare switch assembly so i swaped them to see if would improve the switching. but that spare didnt even work the low speed. im guessing ive caused a wiring connection problem when swapping the switches. so ive go the original a/c switch assy in now and im back to my original problem with only high speed. is there anything else i can check apart from the transistor/poteniometer and the A/C switch assy. Cheers for listening to me rant on but any info is greatly appreciated. Jimmi ps. is there a wiring diagram that has the complete a/c system on here for the mondial T 89"
I have a 1988 Ferrari Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet. I need the heater/ac switch (rheostat?) that fits in the console. Of course I also need the right rear window regulator, but that is another story. Anyone offer some help?
Hi Charles - could you please tell me whether the following NPN power transistor is suitable for replacing the original one? I am in there and would like to replace the orignal one. Thanks for your reply! Urs Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes, the BUX10 should be a suitable replacement. It mostly exceeds the 2N3055 in voltage and current rating, and the pin-out is the same. The current gain is also similar. Max base current rating is a little less, but this is of no concern in this application. I would anticipate no problems, and it should be more durable. Just two caveats: 1. Obtain it from a known source, such as an authorised distributor. Fake power transistors abound in the retail market, as unimaginable as that might seem. For example, Ebay would be a risky place to obtain one. 2. STMicro now lists it as obsolete, not sure of other manufacturers. Edit: Just noticed you're in HK. 20 years ago I would visit the shops in Apliu St (Sham Shui Po). Some of the shops selling electronic components there were pretty good, but buyer beware!
Charles thank you very much. I bought it from RS (https://hken.rs-online.com) a while ago, which is a reputable (UK) distributor with a local office. Funny you went to Apliu St too! Did you live in HK? My shop, and my car, is full of material sourced there. Mongkok still has good hardware stores as well, if you can find what you need among the huge offer...
Ah, you won't go wrong with parts sourced from RS. I worked in Hong Kong for a couple of years. This was around the time of the handover. Yes, Mongkok was a popular shopping destination for me as well. I never advanced very far in my understanding of Cantonese, other than being able to imitate the announcements on the MTR, much to the amusement of my friends and co-workers! Just thinking about this... it's bringing back memories. I can remember my routine of going to Sogo's food hall around closing time and getting half-price sushi takeaway. Wonderful time (as my life revolves around food).
HK has changed much since the handover... and much faster than anticipated. It's rather unpleasant when a free Western-style society slides into a dictatorship.
