Air conditioning compressor question

Postby Purfler » Sat Feb 01, 2014 4:05 pm

I had to forget something in putting the engine back. There is a single wire coming from the a/c compressor - magnetic clutch switch I assume - and I cannot see what it was connected to. The photos I took before removing the engine don't show the area.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion. My problem is I cannot seet what the bullet connector went into. It must be underneath. I'll put it on ramps tomorrow and take the undertray off. I have vague memories of disconnecting it as I think it hard to pull apart. Buggered if I can see where it was though.

Found the bugger! It was the wire I had carefully marked a/c, but needed to be underneath to see.
