A/C clutch

Pre-thinking my Bronco Wiring, and I think I have a good grasp on how I am going to wire in the engine harness to the under-hood harness, and using a few pre-existing wires to run the WTS light and such. However, I am retaining A/C on this build, and I want it to function properly. Did the IDI's cut A/C at WOT like the EFI gassers did? I don't see any way it could feedback unless you have an E4OD truck...

Anybody have a wiring schematic for the A/C clutch?

On these trucks the ac is a completley independed system, the only thing the ECM gets is to know when the compressor is on, it can't turn it off at WOT

I'll try posting a good readable picture but if it's too hard to read let me know and I can e-mail it.

Thanks, It should be no issue then, Ill just steal the wiring off the 5.0 for the A/C portion... I ditched all that out of the harness back when I cleaned up the wiring in smogie.

Coming from the A/C clutch plug, there is the noted B/Y wire and the solid black wire, but it goes into a heat shrunk part which I assumed was the diode, but coming out the other end it has the above, but also a Grey/White wire.... Im not sure what to do with that?

I don't see any Grey/White wire on any of the near by years be it truck or bronco. Being a heat shrunk area on the wire insead of a solid rubber block with either "Diode" or the electrical symbol of a diode written on it, I'm guessing someone added it in. I'm thinking it mite be the should be black/yellow but is now Grey/White that goes to the EEC. Can you ohm it out to see what it may be connected too? If it is connected to the black/yellow that goes to the clutch, just ignore it or chop it off.

It is possibly that was the circuit that went to the EEC on the diagram, and if that's the case, no issue, Ill pull the wire out of the plug.
