Yeah, what he said!

When I bought mine, the thermostat would run the fan but the compressor never kicked in. I figure the thermostat must be okay, so I bypassed the control board and proved that with 120V to the compressor it ran just fine. Jumpered around the board, and we ran it long enough to prove it was good, cooled the cabin in Tampa Bay in July. Bought an electronics kit. Replaced the control board; that was a pain in the butt. No change. Pulled the thermostat to replace it and found a wire loose between the thermostat's pigtail cable and the cable thru the wall. Bad word. Loudly. Everything runs fine, now. And I have a spare control board and thermostat if I ever need them.
Nuthin' wrong with my Cavalier now except the roof leaks.....
