Need your intellegence guys,Which wire is for the ac compressor.

Which wire is the power wire for the ac compressor? Is it the black or the green wire that is behind the pulley, or one of the two wires in the back of the compressor?

The two-wire connector at the front of the compressor engages the clutch. The connector at the rear of the compressor is for the high pressure safety switch.

So one of the high pressure switch wires will turn the fan on when you turn on the ac right?

No. That switch protects the compressor. The fan switch is generally located along he right side of the engine compartment, tapped into one of the refrigerant lines from the condenser.

Ok I was just looking and saw a connector on one of the lines that has a black and blue wire coming from it, so if it splice with the blue wire my fan should come on.
