I don't know what an A/C high pressure switch is, is it one of those pieces on the passenger side firewall somewhere?

Should be the round connector on the rear of the compressor

Re: a/c compressor clutch plug (where does the black wire go?)

I'm just going to ground it. There's no connector on the pressure switch it's just got a black cap over it. Plus there is no wire on the other end.

do you happen to have a pic of the connector that goes from the engine harness to the ac harness? That connector has a green wire that goes into the connector that joins the 2 harness together. I’m trying to find a picture of where ac compressor connectors go into that ac harnesses since mine were rated by mice.
