Hi Knowledgable's - hope you can help.
Disconnected the
battery
to fit a new stereo all working fine.
Start the car and now no cold air and the front fans turn on straight away - why?
Checked the fuses under the dash but i don't know which is the exact fuse so bit of a punt.
Got codes 8033 and C141 under the Air Conditioning System section.
Any tips welcomed - cheers.

The very first thing I would do before I drove it any further would be to make sure that the compressor is turning freely. It may be failing and as a result potentially binding.
I have a
981
but two years ago my fan all of a sudden went full blast on me. I had AC but could not control the fan at all. Turned out to be the fan sensor under the dash on the passenger side. I bought the part online, $45 I think, and installed myself. All is well.
Since the AC/Heat control is right below where you installed the new stereo I suspect you disturbed a wiring harness or may some mistake in connecting the stereo, I know it is no fun disassembling all that but you need to start where you last worked.
Ditto that. Unless it is a coincidence that this problem showed up right after your head unit work, it would appear to be related to something that got unplugged or moved around and not making contact or shorting out.
Anyone know which is the correct fuse to check as well ?
The AC control unit fuse is Row B, number 8, and is a 7.5 amp fuse. The fuse box is in the drivers side footwell.
I'm also seeing a AC control unit fuse in Row B, number 2, 25 amp fuse, in the passenger side footwell fuse box! I guess you have two to look at.
Ok to add to this and thinking back when i re-connected the
battery
my spanner decided to slip and for a second touched the positive
battery
terminal and the A/C air dryer setup and produced a spark.
So i checked ALL the fuses and nothing had blown so i (maybe incorrectly) assumed id got away with it,
Ive also checked the relays in the back for AC and they are fine. Although im still not sure which is the exact fuse for this.
Any ideas folks ? Cheers
Cheers I’ve got different layouts
Gee I'm sorry, I thought I was responding to a
981
issue 😔
Thought that might be the case when you mentioned a fusebox in the right footwell - there is only one fusebox on the 987, drivers footwell. There are some other fuses randomly scattered around just to keep the DIY owner on their toes.
