Default compressor wiring help!!

Can someone post pics or give info on the wiring for the a/c compressor??

mines never worked since i got my car and i assumed it just needed freon (parked for 15 years) I tried to put some in the car but it wouldn't take it at all.

So i assumed i had a bent valve and my compressor was kaput. Until recently removing it for my water pump....

NONE of the wires are connected and before they were shoved away where i could no see them. There are some coming off the side and a ground all of which are taped up and cut off . So im just assuming the a/c has to be on to take a charge and maybe I just need to rewire it.


thanks!!!

my problem being i can't see where the wires coming off the compressor go so i don't know how to fix it. I don't see any loose cables laying around so if someone can tell me where they should be coming from the harness and possibly give pics i can fix.

thanks again!

upon further investigation i think i have found the culprit. There are plugs on the compressor. There are wires joining the 2 and then 1 seperate coming off just one plug.

For me the seperate one is a green with orange tracer. Then there is a white wire and a blue wire which connect to one point. These both end then i found 2 wires coming from the harness and i see a ghetto ground on the compressor plate.

So im assuming i can properly connect these 2 and it will work. Feedback and pics are still very welcome thank you
