AC wiring Question - Name this plug. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TJBrown · 03-17-2012, 09:53 PM

Getting the AC ready and got everything working up to this plug. I know this plug got to the AC system but what do the two connections go to. One is a long leg and one is a short leg. When should they connect too?

Also, is there polarity on the compressor? for it matter which is + and which is -?

Thanks in advance

I believe that connects to wiring harness that comes from the compressor. Some will correct me if I am wrong.

I think so also. Both the connections on the plug are hot too.

I'd like to know this too. Mine has nothing on it either, but I don't use my A/C.

Dark Green is power to the AC clutch through the pressure cutoff.

Light Green is power for the throttle solenoid. It kicks the idle up to keep the AC load from stalling the engine. What I don't see is the second green wire that runs from the connector through the firewall to the heater control. Probably the camera angle.

For reference, do you, or anybody else, have pictures of the stock setup?

No. Just the schematic for the AC subsystem.
