Ok guys i have tried to search and look for the solution online, but I cant find what im looking for. My question is I am trying to repair my AC system in my 90 MK3 turbo. But I cant find the wire that goes to my AC compressor. Can somebody tell me where it is located? Body loom? engine harness loom? Please keep in mind that I bought this car in pieces about a year ago and it was all hacked up when i bought it, so the AC compressor wire coulda been snipped or something. Please help :1zhelp:

Pretty simple circuit. I never could get the compressor to come on with the ac button. Replaced modules and even three controllers where you press the buttons. routed a wire from the cutoff sensor and the relay to a on off switch and never looked back again. Spent over 5 months getting parts. Took it to a shop and the ac specialist said he couldnt fix it.
3 dollar later now I hit the switch which is stock looking switch from another supra probably the hazard and located in the coin slot holster, and we're blowing cold ! Temp control works great too. Best part is you're just applying a ground to the pressure cutoff switch so it's not even really "hot".

My problem is unique with a new compressor and healthy converted system with proper refrigernt.

No engine rpm upkick though, i still suspect a electronic problem not worth solving on my 1990 and like I said - done and cold.

with time.. The cable in the motor compartment is black.. with gunk. If you wipe it is blue.

But that cable is screwed on to the compressor along with a quick disconnet spade. You mean that is not there?

Check the signal wire for the A/C going to the ECU. It is used for idle up. Nothing is controlled for the A/C by the ECU other than the idle up function.
