It plugs into the wiring harness in the rear fuse box. I would take a pic if it was there.
Did you remove this part Landseer?

Are you working on a bus with a large rear aircon unit ? ie. does it have a separate rear aircon temp rheostat.

#413 was originally a multi-cab and although it has a rear aircon unit I would assume a full bus would have a larger aicon unit. #413 does not have a thermo amplifier / rheostat / thermistor fitted.

Looking at the circuit it would appear that the 'thermo amplifier' in conjunction with the rear aircon temp rheostat and a suitably located thermistor control the rear aircon solenoid which in turn operates the rear aircon solenoid valve which presumably regulates refrigerant flow to the rear aircon unit. It operates separately to the rear fan(s) controls. This would allow separate coolant and fan speed control to the rear of the bus but may not be fitted to all models.

Perhaps the LT you're looking at didn't have this fitted ?

After working through what was working and what wasn’t, all those things are wired to the amplifier.
I have one on the way from Ian Jones. Will see how it goes.

374 has full bus air with the thermostat and fan control on the dash for the rear unit and I've not seem one of those units in the power box. will pull the lid off and have a look.
From memory there is a big power socket like that hanging free.
