jimoshel Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Been out all day getting my latest acquisition ready for the road. 1990 MJ, 4.0, 5spd, 2WD. The PO had a field day under the hood with a pair of wire cutters. How come when there's only one it's called a pair? I digress. Does any body see anything wrong with the wiring in these pics? They're 3 peeps here I expect will catch it, Cruiser, Don and Pat. Hint. It blows AC fuse minute I turn the AC on. We'll see. Not very good pics but was the best I could do holding trying to hold 2 wiring harnesses and take a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula69 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Why does he have a wire grounded to the compressor body? There should only be a lead attached to the clutch - its grounded through the block.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 You would have to ask him. I don't know. I also don't know why he hooked that wire, the AC clutch wire and the hot wire from the harness together. They're all 3 twisted together where the 2 Blue wires disappear into the harness.

In that case (can't see that in your crappy pics Jim :yes: ) , when you turn the A/C on, the 12V applied to the clutch coil is tied directly to ground through the 5-ohm clutch coil windings.

jimoshel Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Actually Don it will go directly to ground thru the Blue wire attached at the back of the compressor. And yes they were crappy pics. I should have waited until manana and took a better one but I was impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
