I think it goes to the silver can of the AC unit. I’m drawing a Blanco on the name of that thing. Should be a two prong piece that that controls the pressure and activates the compressor. Or it could be nothing depending on the vehicle.

If you have an R4 compressor do you have the high pressure shut off switch in the back or is there a plug there? When you get a reman compressor they usually don't come with the switch.

Based on the length, it looks like it should plug into the accumulator drier "the silver thingy". LOL. It is the pressure cutoff switch.

Chewy11B: thanks that’s what I was trying to remember. Hahaha

No problem that's the best part of this forum.....all crazy obsessed gmt owners......lol

Looks like the cutout switch on the back of the compressor, has the same plug as the accumulator but yours is already plugged in. Look for a small set of pins on the back of the compressor

 

[Chewy11B]

But look at the length will only reach the accumulator. The compressor is too far away.

I vote for the compressor. Your also missing a bolt on top of your idler that holds something.

Wait crap, I just realized I think you're all right with compressor. It looked like part of the other loom, but I turned my head 4 different ways and saw I was wrong.....so check to see if theres a sensor on back side of compressor. High pressure, I will tell you this if the compressor was new or rebuilt and just bolted on they didn't take off the factory plug under snap ring. You need to install a sensor if theres not one there......lol
