The round thing attached to my underhood brace, I know it up's the idle when the a/c is turned on, but, There are two wires coming off the bottom of it, a ground which is hooked up and theres another wire that I dont know where it goes, it is broken in half, anybody know where it goes?

If it still works for upping idle with A/C....there shouldnt be any damaged wires? Or is that the problem - it doesnt work? My 83 has a small cover tube on the two wires going to this solenoid, but it works, so I have never had to trace where the wires go.

The other wire is a "Y" from the clutch activation signal. When the clutch is ON that valve is open. Or so it should be.

I think... Glen means the clutch on the A/C compressor Jason....just in case you are wondering....you do drive a 5 speed

Yea, its a 5-speed car, so the wire in question goes to the ac clutch?

SharkSkin

The wire in question should be getting the same "hot" signal as the AC clutch, yes. Does the AC clutch engage normally?

GlenL

Yes. The clutch on the A/C compressor. Follow the lead from that backwards and you should find where to splice them together. Mine was just hanging down the front of the belt covers. Not sure that was stock. (Since removed)

Thanks guys, got it hooked back up and works perfect.
