Yellow Wire Mystery (Page 1/1)

Guys, I'm stuck trying to find a home for a yellow wire in the engine bay on my 84 2.5. I believe it's the high speed a/c wire thats tied into the a/c somewhere but it was cut off about a foot from wherever it went. It is wired into the cooling fan temp switch on the front of the head, but as far as I can tell, there is only the compressor on/off green wire going to the compressor. Looks like 84 didn't have low or high speed shut-off lines wired in. That leaves me with a yellow line with nowhere to go. of note, even when I didn't have a compressor and just some cut ends remaining, the a/c button on the dash would still turn on the cooling fan. Anyone have any ideas? The shop manuals are strangely sparse for 84.

Hope this helps….only yellow wire I see is for the coolant temp sensor

What year is that schematic for? Doesn’t look like any of mine.

84 2 speed rad fan for AC cars,

Switch lives(lived) on back of compressor to run fan at high speed.
No switch likely = some fool replaced the compressor w/o a clue how to wire.

I believe I just searched for 84 2.5 engine wiring schematic

Thank you Ogre, very much appreciated. This may be the missing schematic I needed.
