AC clutch harness & random plug ?

January 21, 2011, 10:49:52 PM

The previous owner had wired up a manual switch on the dash to engage the ac clutch. Id like to get the wiring back to normal, and fix the real problem. Wires are cut upstream of the low oil level sensor, off the diode. My guess is these two wires are for the ac clutch, can someone confirm. Just so you have you bearings, the engine is out of the car, and i laid that panel down so you could see better.

Also, this plug committed suicide when unplugged, wth do i do? Can you get another and pin it?

I cant help with your first question , but the second one it is very easy to replace those plugs if you have another one. I had to switch 3 or 4 on my car

What colors are the wires? What model, year, and engine?

For 87 MY (all except TC) the AC clutch gets a BK/Y wire from a connector at the LH fender apr0n. This is fed from the A/C cycling switch through the WOT relay, and is connected to the AC diode and the clutch coil. A BK wire from a connector at the LH shock tower is the return to ground, and is connected to the other side of the diode and the clutch switch.

Hope that helps!

The black/yellow should be AC power, I can't find what the black/green would be. Sorry. If I find it I'll let you know. I found a AC condenser coil plug with some wires attached,and the ground side wires are gray/white.

Some clarity today...

The wire is black/yellow, and the existing plug shown is water temp, not oil level. So Im good to attach a clutch plug to the two cut wires, just have to get some weather pack connectors to repair the suicide.
