How to make AC work with your swap, aka: Need help with AC wiring thread Options

[lagos]

ok... so my AC hasnt worked since the swap and i figure now is a good time to wire that crap up. so i have my harness apart and im trying to look at the wiring diagrams to figure out a few things. seems like i need some help.

"ac amplifier" in the diagrams means the main AC compressor, correct?

on it, is a plug called A8 (looking at the 5sfe diagrams). the harness goes from there to a plug called IM1 and then 3 wires go to the ECU's 1st plug. where is IM1 located ? is it the white, 5 wire plug that goes from the 3s hanress, and plugs in right behind the glove box?

yeah, your right. on a 6th gen they call it A2 and on a 3s harness its called A4. thanks for clearing that up.

now.... here is my next qestion. if you were to take the 3sgte harness apart...and trace the wires coming from the a4 plug. where would they all end up?

for example... plug a4, pin 4 is a blac/white wire . this is the main power wire that engages the AC cluch. in the 6th gen, this goes to the main fuse box plug EA1 pin 10. where does it normally go on the 3sgte? im guessing it would go to one of the 2a,2b,2c fuse box plugs that used to be part of the original harness, but what one and what pin. and what about the rest of the 4 wires? where do they get routed to on the original 3s harness?

i cant find any 3s wiring diagrams that have the AC system in them. my book dosnt even metion the AC.... odd.
