Hello all,
New member and gmt400 owner here. I need a little help with the ac compressor install I did today. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, so I apologize ahead of time if it's not. Getting to the issue at hand. I have a 1997 chevy k1500 5.7. I installed a new sanden 4440 ac compressor, new hose manifold, receiver and orifice tube today. Piece of cake. Everything went well with the installation, with the exception of the the electrical connections for the ac compressor. I hooked up the main connection, but there is nowhere to connect what I think is the clutch engagement sensor?? (The connection was in the back on the oe compressor. Firewall side) Does the sanden not need the switch attached? Is it controlled internally somehow? Or do I need some sort of adapter? According to the diagram I looked at, it appears there is a PRV where the connection was on the old compressor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm planning on doing the vacuum down, test and recharge tomorrow.
Thank you,
Kyle
