green wire in engine compartment of 1982 911 SC

[BasRottier]

Hello,

I bought a 911 SC 1982 Targa some time ago. It had a previous life in Florida, then it passed 2 years in Holland and
now with me in Belgium.
I have bought Wayne Dempsey's handbook which helped me a lot doing some updates (Oil leaks, clutch replacement etc...)
After putting back the engine in it's compartment, I noticed a green wire (single thread, with a black connector at the
right sigde of the compartment). Does anybody know the purpose of this wire and where it's supposed to be connected to?

Thanks
Bas

Likely A/C compressor wire. Based on the bracket being there.

I'm not familiar with the specifics of the 1982 SC air conditioner system wiring, but based on its location, there is a good chance that is the power feed to the a/c compressor clutch. You could try verifying this by turning the a/c controls to max and seeing if the wire end registers voltage.

Not the best pic but you can see the male connector from my Sanden compressor just above my left index finger. They work together but the old York had a square male connector if I remember right.
