Electrical Wire Under Air Cleaner

im2bad4ya · Post by **im2bad4ya** » April 9th, 2006, 10:08 pm

So under the air cleaner (air box, where the air filter goes), there is an electrical wire that is hanging loose. I don't know where it connects to, even though it is only a few inches in length. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Where does this wire go? Does it even NEED to be connected?

This thread is useless without pictures.

OK, here are pics: 
From the top, as far as it stretches out. It's a female connector with two horizontal slots. (I say female connector which is a term often used in audio/video/computer engineering)

Dangling, stretched as far as it can go.

Sorry I couldn't get better pics. These were taken at night. So does anyone know where this goes?

that *might* be the wire that powers the solenoid to trip the clutch on the a/c compressor.
