Air Conditioner Compressor Wiring

[ITSANSS]

Found in the wiring schematic that the two prong plug that goes next to the oil pressure sender has a Light Green wire coming off of it that goes to the choke.  Tapped into that and made up a wire and connector to the choke.

It's not really cold enough for it to work, I don't think.  However, we started her up to make sure that it wasn't on and the "CHOKE" light on the dash was on as soon as we started it up.

Put the test light onto the choke wire and it lit up the test light verrrry dimly.  When we unhook the wire from the choke, the choke light goes off.  When we hook choke wire back up, light comes back on.  Is it supposed to do this?  lol  My dad and I agreed that that was why the choke wire was gone in the first place, the light stayed on constantly and it got hacked.   

Thanks

The light green wire

Hey Vile.  I am to the point of messing with AC and heater things. 

My light green and dark green wires were chewed through.  The connector pictured above is there, but there isn't enough wire on the connector to splice.  I depinned the switch and don't mind repinning if I can find new pins that are not sold individually for way too much.  But, I would probably be better off buying a pigtail connector for all the female/male portions. 

What is that particular connector called?  How would I find one?  Also, what gauge wire are those wires, or how would I find out?

I toyed with the option of just a generic pigtail in line, but don't want to start a fire or something if wrong gauges are used. 

Thanks for your help.

You sir, are amazing!

I neglected to mention that both the light- and dark-green wire gauge sizes are AWG 16.  Wire gauge sizes often are shown on wiring diagrams as part of the wire ID label.  For example, referring to the schematic diagram posted on the previous page, the dark green wire running from the evaporator pressure cycling switch to the AC compressor clutch is labeled 1 DK GRN - 59(SXL); 1 is the metric wire size in mm² (which corresponds to 16-gauge), DK GRN is the 'dark green' wire color, 59 is the GM circuit number, and SXL is the insulation specification for the wire.

You can buy the pigtails or make your own weatherpack connectors. You'd have to buy a kit and the crimpers.

Thank you!  I've gone from being so afraid to touch wiring, to actually being able to make out diagrams and troubleshoot things, somewhat, but I know I'm a long way from really knowing what I'm doing.  It's so cool to have people on this forum that educate and help us that have the same questions you may have answered many times before.  Thanks. 

I KNEW  there had to be a way to find out the guage sizes without stripping and measuring them with callipers!!  I knew those letters and numbers meant something!!  Now I know.

Oh awesome! 

I found the parts individually through a few electrical supply stores online.  But they wanted me to buy 50 of them.  lol .  I don't need 50 of them. 

Thanks!  Making it easier for me for sure!
