Wires on back of air conditioner compressor question
1987 camaro .5.7 tuned port. The AC compressor clutch will not come on. I tried to jump 12 volts to the green wire on plug in back. There are two wires. Is one a ground?Not sure if the compressor it self is grounded by bolts.Or are the two wires on plug in back of compressor ground and power?

Re: Wires on back of air conditioner compressor question
The compressor is grounded through the brackets. The clutch works off the high pressure switch on the back side of the compressor.
This should help a little with the wires, it shows all three versions available.

Re: Wires on back of air conditioner compressor question
A/C will work fine without the high pressure switch in the circuit. Mine when i bout it had the plug with a wire in it also, not a critical item as far as i am concerned. There should be another high pressure switch coming from the condensor passenger side below accumulator
