I am wondering if someone has a diagram of how to wire the a/c compressor on a 81-87 chevy truck. There is a 2 wire pigtail on the compressor. Where do the 2 wires go?
Thanks in advance

It comes from the pressure switch. It hooks to one term on the comp. & the other one (black wire) is grounded.

I believe it originates at the low pressure switch on the side of the accumulator. It is under the hood on the pass side by the evaperator.
