gmrulz4u Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 On an 89 Cutlass Supreme, if you remove your air cleaner housing/assembly, you'll see a 3 pin harness that contains a Light Green wire with a Black stripe, a Dark Green wire, and a Black wire with a White stripe, but it's just sitting there and not plugged into anything. It comes out of the same loom that has the little harness going into the transmission... Anyone know?? I think it's just there for older models that still use the MAF(Mass Air Flow) rather than the updated MAP system... Quote
rockfangd Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 lol maybe a pic might help. it could possibly be the TCC solenoid Quote
Crazy K Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 It is the plug for the blinker fluid flux modulator! LOL pics would help! Quote
gmrulz4u Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Posted July 27, 2007 Sorry I didn't realize it was that hard to picture a 3-pin plug/harness in your head?? I thought it was common sense as to what one looks like...seeing as there's about 30 in the engine compartment itself...nevermind... Quote

Andrew Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 is there anything unplugged within its reach? does you car have AC ? Quote
Brian P Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 you shouldn't have any MAF wiring unless MAYBE it's an '89 built in mid '88. Are the wires in 1 row? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I doubt that's it. The 88 had MAF and was upgraded, but it only has 1 harness with 5(?) wires in a row. It didn't have 2 separate connectors. That must be for something else. I seem to recall there is some kind of A/C pressure sensor in that area. The '88 had a loose connector there and I also noticed a naked schrader valve on the A/C system. When comparing to my '89, the '89 has a sensor on the schrader and the same harness plugged into it. So when I went to the JY, I bought a sensor and attached it to the schrader and the harness plugged right in. Then all the refrigerant leaked out and I blamed it on the sensor and removed it. It may have been an A/C low side pressure sensor and I'm not sure what its purpose was since the A/C worked fine without it. You might check to see if you have a schrader valve with no cap in the vicinity. Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 I second the a/c pressure sensor. that's the only thing in that area that should have a 3 prong plug. Quote
rockfangd Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 x2 i just dont remember if the pressure switch is 2 wire or 3 wire but it is in the same area Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 It's 3. it's the same plug as the MAP sensor. Quote
gmrulz4u Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Posted July 28, 2007 Yeah I'm pretty sure you guys are right with the A/C suggestion. I'm pretty sure it does look exactly like the harness/plug that goes to the MAP Sensor. I don't see any missing caps for any schrader valves etc... Quote
