Escort CCRM ac fix.
When my friend’s 98 Escort lost AC, he found this and asked me to do the soldering. Great info on a really cheap alternative to replacing the whole expensive circuit board. All you really need to do is drill out the rivets to open the case, desolder the old relay, solder in the new one, and then close the case back up with (if I remember correctly) some 1/2″ 8-32 screws & nuts fitting perfectly. The only other thing we had to do is remove the intake tubing to get at the ccrm I believe. This was done at the beginning of summer 09 and I think lasted until he got rid of the car.
