Default Is this something caught in my compressor?

AC stopped blowing cold today. Disconnected the battery to see if it was pressure switch. Then I was looking around under the hood and saw this:




This looks like a connector is lodged in between the pulley and compressor. How the hell and where does the harness on the white connector go? The other end looks like it runs up to the TB.

Nope, looked at some other pictures online and noticed that plug is part of the compressor. Guess it's to the shop tomorrow.

The connector is for the electromagnetic clutch.

Is it blowing at all--hot or cold air? Is the drain hole unplugged (not sure if it's plugged completely it'd shut down cold air flow, but it might)?

Did you try a can of refrigerant? system may have lost some or all of its charge. Some cans have a gauge showing pressure of system.

Also if you will see a oil stain were a refrigerant leak is . So take a look at the lines and the condenser. You can also use a R-134a with a dye . This makes it a little easier ti see leak and won't harm the system.Bill
