in my r32 rb20det, what is the best way to disable the ac so the ecu never sees the signal? cut pin 9 or 46 by the ecu? or do it at the back of the climate control unit?

I don't want the ac signal to affect the ecu map. and you can't demist the damn windscreen without a/c on.

another thing that bugs me is there is no demist/feet mode.

Why do you want to remove the A/C request signal to the ECU?

There is no map for the A/C. The ECU turns the A/C on when requested but only under a few conditions. I believe these are; When not at full throttle and when the engine is not overheating. The ECU also bumps up idle when the A/C is requested.

Im not sure what the reason is for removing it?

You can demist your windzcreen with hot air as well..

if the ac has been removed then there is no point dicking around with the wiring, etc. as said, the ac has very little effect on the ecu, other than altering the AAC valve to make sure it still idles with the extra load on the engine. and if the compressor has been removed then the ecu won't try and do anything. it will think the ac is off as it requires a signal back from the compressor to say that it's engaged

    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
    • And yet....OEMs put both guages and lights into cars, fed by separate primary elements, for a reason. Oil pressure sensors fail at a significantly higher rate than oil pressure switches. When the HMI has 2 outputs, each with its own separate input, the redundancy makes it far more likely that the operator will notice a problem - particularly if one of those systems has a fault. I'll keep my oil pressure switch feeding the dash light, thanks.
    • So after like 4 hours yesterday and quite a bit of troubleshooting. Come to find out there is a screw on the back of the serial 9 shifter that was screwed in too far from the factory and the manufacturer doesn’t say anything about it but it was stopping all the back gears because it was hitting that. I pulled the shifter out and went through the gears by hand and a vise grip (dont judge me, it was on a lift) and figured out that it wasn’t the trans. So we narrowed it down to the shifter

    • Oh you'll be surprised how much the motor breathes when it sees nearly 2 bar of boost. That will definitely pop, but for now, more than happy with 99.99% of the crank case fumes and engine shit going back into the intake.
