I didn't have the original AC pressure switch connector as it sits on the opposite side of the large round connector on the engine harness and I no longer have that part of the harness. But good news, there is an identical connector on the engine harness with slightly different wire colors, also as a bonus if you use it the wire lengths are a perfect length to get from the factory GTM PCM location to the factory GTM pressure sensor location. The connector has a grey, black and brown wire. Grey and black match the old connector, the brown wire can be treated as if its red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how I removed the old pins from the old harness and moved them to the new harness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1 remove the plastic colored plug end by inserting a small flat blade screwdriver into the left and right side of each colored plastic cap. Pull up on the colored cap at the same time. it will pop off.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefactoryfiveforum.com\/attachment.php?attachmentid=105929&amp;d=1555604655\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now remove the plastic cap from the back with the same small flat blade screwdriver. There are 6 plastic clips that need to be pried off, i found it was easiest to work on them in pairs from left to right popping them out one by one being careful not to let them pop back into place.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefactoryfiveforum.com\/attachment.php?attachmentid=105931&amp;d=1555604687\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefactoryfiveforum.com\/attachment.php?attachmentid=105932&amp;d=1555604705\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can remove the pin by applying a slight amount of pressure to the latch and pushing the pin back through the connector (toward the wire side)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefactoryfiveforum.com\/attachment.php?attachmentid=105933&amp;d=1555604713\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now strip back all the old wire loom and tape and you will have a stand-alone harness<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefactoryfiveforum.com\/attachment.php?attachmentid=105934&amp;d=1555604730\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply new wire loom and heat shrink tubing to make it look like new.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefactoryfiveforum.com\/attachment.php?attachmentid=105935&amp;d=1555604738\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I then took apart my new engine harness and pushed each wire into the correct pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did the same for the AC request wire and AC trigger wire. Those two cables go from the PCM to the round connector as well. I took those wires and fed them into a new female weatherpac connector with some new wire loom. I will plug that female connector into a new male connector that will go though the tunnel toward the vintage air unit. I will place the relay and diode in the tunnel under right near the front of the engine. I started working on the diode and relay portion of the AC harness. I finished it but figured it was best to leave it out and double check all the wiring tomorrow.\n\n<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I performed a little wiring harness surgery yesterday.
