Sorry 'bout all of the posts today;)I damn near made my eyes bleed looking through the FSM looking to find the identity of these 3 plugs. I *think* the single plug goes to the A/C system. Anyone care to ID them for me?



The plug that is on my little finger has a black and a white wire.

the leftmost one looks kinda like the oil pressure sender ?

not sure the other two from that photo. where on the harness / engine bay are they?

did you try looking in the back of the EL section of the FSM at the harness diagrams to see based on what else was around it which they were?

Yeah, that is what made my eyes bleed.

They are on the same wiring as the fuse box on the passeners side and the alternator. They are right next to the shock tower on the passengers side.

Pretty suire the other two are the the neutral swtich and reverse light switch for the gearbox.

I agree the leftmost is almost certainly the oil pressure switch.

Great, so now I need to find out where all of these connect. I am spending a lot of time in the FSM today.

Oil pressure switch is plugged in. Also to note: These plugs are on very short wires comming from the wrapped harness. This harness is prewired.

the oil pressure switch is jsut below the oil filter, the others (if they are gearbox) connect to the wires that should be dangling off the gearbox.

Yeah. Should I unplug them from whatever they are plugged into and see? He said that he had aftermarket control boxes. Could that be any clue?

for fun test for continuity from that oil pressure looking one and the one connected to your oil pressure

one of my harnesses (prewired) has some dupe connectors like CAS cause they just hacked on some extra connectors, and didn't actually completely remove the old ones.. its like a siamese harness

I think that is what we have here. But these are the only 3 like that. He also said that he left the ignitor and all of that on the same side and didn't rewire them. I think they are jsut spares. They didn't get hot when I turned the ignitoon on, they must be off.
