Mike, I understand man. Freaking out is the natural and logical response with the SVX sometimes.
Send a PM to SubbieatNZ. He was breaking a jdm car and may have the aircon computer.
When you get it sorted, use the car more. The SVXs with very high mileage give little trouble. Like all complicated electronics cars, leaving them parked is bad news. Dampness gets into the wiring, and bad earths cause all sorts of problems. Once you get it good, use it a lot, you will get repaid many times over for all you put into it.
