Topic: 73 Electrical Question
in Forum: C3 Electrical
I have a "loose" black 2 wire plug with one brown and one green wire just hanging in back of the compressor . it is about 15 inches long
Clues: it is NOT the one going to the ambient switch on the blower, the wire istaped together from the factory with the plastic connecting plugs on it, doesn't go th the thermal limiter by the a/c...
anyone got any ideas??? much thanks!

Got pics?
There is a two wire,(grn/tan) connector that goes to the pressure switch for the A/C.

Thanks Brian....mine is exactly like yours... The black and green go to the compressor. NOT the brown and green. So, I am still in the dark on the brown and green plug...I will take a picture of the wires/plug asap... you should have it going somewhere. thanks for your help!
They use to go to the thermal swict that was mounted into the head. It didn't let the distributor advace until the motor was warm. It was an emissions thing. Mine has been disconected for ever.

I'll try to get a pic of my sensor plug/wires, as well as the press. switch for the A/C. Those wire have to be for one or the other.
